First Baptist History
The Pastor as spent countless hours and at present, read 71 books to find the details of our heritage in centuries past. We here at First Baptist hope that you will be blessed as you consider the past, and see where we come from. (The pastor is currently still working on this history)
Church at Abergavenny, South Wales, 1652 by William Prichard, and Thomas Watkins
(This building was built in 1875 and is the fourth to be on the site. It stands on the banks of the Cleddau River where they baptized new elievers.) The day on which the church was constituted, they received, by letter, one from Llantrisaint, one from Swansea (it’s from this church the Mr. W. Prichard was sent), and one from Okhon-making, in the whole, twenty-five members. Bro. William Prichard was sent to organize this church out of the church at Swansea, and afterwards became their pastor. Soon there was a great dispute in the town about baptism.
John Tombs preached on the subject of believers' baptism, and John Cragg, A. M., on the subject of Pedobaptism (infant baptism). Consequetly there were between forty and fifty were baptized, (many of them had been members in the Pedobaptist order,) and added to the Baptist church that year. In the year 1654, there were several young men in this church, who were exercising their gifts as public speakers. Hitherto they had no meeting-house, but they met in different dwelling-houses. In 1695, Christopher Price, an assistant preacher of William Prichard, gave a spot of ground, on which a meeting-house was then built, and called Llanwenarth. This church was considered, for many years, as the Jerusalem of Wales, and William Prichard, chief bishop. He was very much respected in London and Bristol, as well as at home. Through him the Welsh ministers received money from the London fund. He died in the month of August, 1728, being sixty-three years old. These words are on his tombstone, at Llanwenarth:
"Here lieth one of Abel's race,
Whom Cain did hunt from place to place;
Yet, not dismayed, about he went,
Working until his days were spent.
He's now at rest, and takes a nap
Upon his common mother's lap,
Waiting to hear the Bridegroom say,
Arise, my love, and come away."
Church in Bewdley founded in 1650-54 John Tombes 1603 – 22 May, 1676 Sponsored by the church at Abergavenny
Mr, John Tombes, of Bewdley, Worcestershire -- a man whose attainments fitted him for any station in which learning and piety were requisite. The noted Mr. Wall, in his elaborate History of Infant Baptism, says, that "of the professed Anti-pedobaptists, Mr. Tombes was a man of the best parts in our nation, and perhaps in any other." And Dr. Calamy's honorable testimony of him is, that he was a person "whom all the world must known to have been a respectable man, and an excellent scholar." This learned divine, about the year 1650-54 took under his tuition three amiable young men -- Mr. Boylston, of whom no particulars are in my possession, Mr. Richard Adams, and Mr. John Eccles. The Baptist Church in Bewdley is generally accepted as being one of the earliest Baptist churches, Most likely 1654 a year after his debate on baptism, at Abergavenny.
Bromsgrove Baptist Church Was founded in 1666 by John Eccles Sponsored out of the Church Bewdley Bishop John Eccles was a young clothier by trade from Bewdley Mr. Eccles became pastor of the Baptist church at Broomsgrove, suffered much for non-conformity, preached the gospel there and at Coventry near sixty years with reputation, and died honorably in the year one thousand seven hundred and eleven.
Barnoldswick Baptist Church founded in 1694-95 by David Crosley although he started out as a Presbyterian he soon came to the understanding that he did not have a scriptural baptism, and in 1692 was re-Baptized (Ana-Baptist) in Worcestershire and later sent out of the Bromsgrove Baptist Church it is said “he is truly the stuff of a legend, he was said to be a friend of the Baptist preacher John Bunyan”
Two cousins, William Mitchell and David Crosley were significant in the work of planting and reviving Baptist life travelling backwards and forwards across the Pennine hills Their work linked twenty small Baptist groups called the “Rossendale Round”.
Wainsgate Baptist Church founded 1750 by Richard Smith sponsored from the Church at Barnoldswick, he was pastor it seems (although it is not clear) till his death and succeeded in 1764 by John Fawcett. and we do have a lot of history on this great man of God.
John Fawcett, D.D. was born Jan 6th. 1740 at Lidget Green, near Bradford, Yorks. Converted at the age of 16 under the ministry of G. Whitefield,
He at first joined the Methodists, but three years later united with the Baptist Church at Bradford. Having begun to preach he was, in 1765, ordained Baptist minister at Wainsgate near Hebden Bridge, Yorks. In 1772 he was invited to London to succeed the celebrated Dr. J.Gill as pastor of Carter's Lane. The invitation had been formerly accepted, the farewell sermon at Whinsgate had been preached and the wagon loaded with his goods for removal, when the love and tears of his attached people prevailed and he decided to remain. Fawcett sacrificed a London appointment and remained where he was loved and respected. His salary was £25 pounds a year.
From the circumstances of this incident Fawcett wrote his well-known hymn, "Blest be (is) the tie that binds", headed "Brotherly Love". In 1793 he was invited to become President of the Baptist Academy at Bristol, but declined. In 1811 he received from America the degree of D.D. and died in 1817 at the age of 78. Dr. Fawcett was the author of a number of prose works in Practical Religion, several of which attained a large circulation.
Olney Baptist Church Organized 1775 by John Sutcliff Sponsored out of the Church at Wainsgate
Bro. Sutcliff was Baptized by Fawcett soon after his conversion, Sutcliff joined Wainsgate Baptist Church on 28 May 1769, he walked over 200 miles to go to college in Bristol, and in 1775 he organized the baptized believers in Olney, and became Olney Baptist Church, for up until that time it had not been organized out of a true New testament Baptist Church. During this period he set up an academy or seminary in two adjacent houses close to the church, and under his tutelage a number of prominent Baptist preachers developed. Of these, the most well known were William Robinson, who became the first “home grown” missionary to Serampore in 1806, and William Carey whose vision of a calling to evangelize the heathen led to him becoming instrumental in the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792 and becoming its first missionary in 1793. (It was Olney Baptist Church which had actually commissioned him to be a Minister after considerable discussion as to his suitability!!). It is also here at Olney Baptist Church where a missionary was sent out to Jamaica and later to the New World his name is Lee Compere.
First Baptist Montgomery , Sponsored out of the Church at Onley UK, by English missionaries Lee (1790-1871) and Susannah (ca. 1797-1833) Compere arrived in Alabama in 1822 and spent a decade caught up in the tensions between white, black and Creek Indian cultures. As abolitionists and champions of what Lee termed "the cause of humanity," they clashed with slaveowners—both white and Creek—and made powerful enemies on both sides of the Indian removal debate.
Before Bro. Lee came to the states he was sent out of his Home church Olney Baptist Church, they appointed Compere to serve as a missionary among the slaves in the British colony of Jamaica. While visiting a church shortly before he was to leave, Compere was introduced to Susannah Voysey, the mission-minded 18-year-old daughter of a wealthy London family. Lee and Susannah married within weeks of meeting and departed for Jamaica in late 1815. The Comperes' missionary efforts in Jamaica were successful in terms of building a congregation of baptized believers, but the couple apparently angered many by openly opposing slavery. They also had their first child, a daughter, while in Jamaica but she died aboard ship when the couple went on to be missionaries to the New World in 1817. Lee and Susannah went on to have eight more children together, seven of whom survived: Frances, Elizabeth Tobither, Nancy Jane, Susannah Voysey ("Muscogee"), Thomas Hichigee, William, and Ebenezer Lee.
They were told of the need for missionaries in Creek Indian town of Tuckabatchee, near modern-day Tallassee, Alabama, the Comperes happily accepted. The Creeks wanted Western-style education for their children but prohibited Christian evangelism. As they had in Jamaica, when the Comperes found that politics and cultural beliefs conflicted with what they viewed as their calling, they followed their calling. This inevitably invited controversy. The first years of the work at Tuckabatchee were relatively smooth, however. The Comperes taught classes to the Creek students, ministered to small communities of Christians of various cultures living within the Creek Nation, and reported to their Baptist and U.S. government supporters all that they observed about the largely undocumented Creek culture. They were, in a sense, also missionaries from the Creeks to the whites, and their observations helped the government and other missionaries better understand southeastern Indian culture.
The violence at the station was the beginning of the end of the Comperes' work among the Creeks. Lee feared leaving his family alone and in any case had long since grown weary of the fundraising, bureaucratic frustrations, and widespread opposition to his work. It also seemed increasingly clear that the Americans would soon succeed in parting the Creeks from their land.
In 1829 the Compere family left the Creek Nation and settled on a farm near Montgomery. The couple established another school, founded the First Baptist Church of Montgomery.
In his final years, Lee lived with his son Thomas in Arkansas and Texas, and died near Corsicana, Texas, on. June 15, 1871.
Lee and Susannah Compere left to Alabama a remarkable legacy of courage and concern for what Lee called "the cause of humanity." Their willingness to speak out against injustice wherever they found it anticipated the civil rights struggles of the twentieth century. Each of the Comperes' sons entered the ministry and served in education.
First Baptist Church of Burnham TX founded in 1862-69 sponsored out of the church at Montgomery AL. by Thomas Hechigee Compere 1827-1882
There is not much that has survived to allow us to glimpse the man that bares an Indian warrior chief’s name “Hechigee”.
Only to say this he followed in his father’s footsteps. He was not only a Church planter, but also the first schoolteacher at Wadeville, a village located near present-day Kerens, Texas. When Burnham Baptist was relocated to the Town of Ennis, and became First Baptist Ennis, Bro. was there to help organize it and they called there first Pastor as First Baptist Ennis Bro. R.K. Freeman.
First Baptist Church of Ennis
The First Baptist Church of Ennis, Texas was started and organized out of the First Baptist Church of Burnham Texas in May or June 1873, with a membership of twenty-five people the majority of whom came from the First Baptist of Burnham Texas, when the town (Burnham) closed.
The group met in a vacant store building on Main Street. Bro. R.K. Freeman of Corsicana was called as the first pastor of the church for one Sunday each month.
The next pastor was Dr W. H. Parks, under whose leadership the church built their first house of worship on the corner of North Dallas Street and Baylor Street. In a short time the church building was destroyed by a cyclone. Immediately, the church built a larger building, which served the needs of the congregation for a number of years
Following Dr. Parks were Bro. Bennett Hatcher, Bro. S H Slaughter, Bro. Owens, Bro. Sams, Bro. Daily, Bro. Huffines Bro. Prather, and Bro. Edgar Parker. Others following were Bro. A. W. Luper, Bro. Wise, Bro. R. L. McGuiston, Bro. J. E. Glenn, Bro. L. S. Ballard, Bro. A. J. Kirkland, and Bro. S. T. Francis.
In January 1948, Bro. R. P. Campbell was called as pastor and served until April, 1967. Under Bro. Campbell's leadership, repairs were done on the auditorium again and a new baptistery was installed.
In the Spring of 1954, the Church purchased the first electric Hammond Organ with funds which began several years previously by the Wheeler Bible Class with a "mile of dimes".
A lot was given to the church by Mr. V. L. Anthony, with the request that a Missionary Baptist church be built there. After Mr. Anthony's death, the church bought another lot in Anthony Addition (same addition the lot is located which Mr. Anthony gave to the Church (First Baptist).
The church sponsored an open air revival assisted by Ellis County Missionary Herman Littlejohn. As a result of this effort, a group met in First Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, August 14, 1955, and a new Missionary Baptist Church came into being, namely, The Anthony Drive Baptist Church. The First Baptist Church deeded the mentioned property in Anthony Addition to the new church on which to erect its place of worship, which was done.
In June of 1957, Bro. W. E. Nunn was called to First Baptist Church. Under his leadership the church purchased a large residence on the corner of West Baylor and North McKinney streets. This building was used as the Youth Building, housing the Intermediate and Young People's Departments in the Sunday School for several years. In 1959 a new entrance to the old auditorium was made. In 1962 the church built an additional bedroom and bath on the parsonage located at 204 West Decatur Street, making it a four bedrooms and two baths. On August 4. ,1963, the church voted to purchase an additional property north of the present older buildings.
On this new property it was planned to build a new auditorium. The purchase of the new property and the construction of the auditorium cost the sum of $80,000.00 plus cost of the bond program and the furnishings of the new auditorium. On September 4, 1963 the church voted unanimously to accept the bond program presented by Bro. Philip McGahey representative of the Fidelity Church Finance Corporation of Dallas, Texas. On September 8. 1963. the church voted unanimously to set October 13. 1963, as Kick-Off Time for the bond program these bonds were all sold and the construction on the new auditorium was begun. The construction was completed on August 20, 1964. The furniture was purchased from L. L. Sams of Waco, Texas. It was installed on August 14, 1964
Bro. Nunn resigned on January, 1967. Bro. Hoyt Hefner then accepted interim pastor from January 1967
through April, 1967.
Bro. Harold Burns then accepted a call to pastor in April, 1967. He moved from New Harmony Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas. Under his leadership the church developed an active budget plan and constructed a new Educational Building and Fellowship Hall. In 1972, First Baptist Church borrowed $10,000.00 from the building fund and made a down payment on a new parsonage. The nice brick structure was located at 1302 Crestidge, a real asset to the First Baptist Church. Bro. Burns resigned in 1986.
On November 6,1986, Bro. Clyde H. Johnson first served as interim pastor then as a full-time pastor. Bro. Clyde Johnson retired in August 1991
Bro. Clifton Baugus was called on December 1991 as pastor. He resigned on April 17, 1994.
Bro. Charlie Shadwick served as interim pastor until October 9, 1994 when he was called as full-time pastor. Under his leadership, First Baptist Church did clear a lot for renovation, paid off the debt for our Educational Building and Fellowship Hall, and bought a parsonage. Bro. Charlie Shadwick resigned September, 1996.
Bro. Paul Gauntt and Bro. Danny Pope served as interim Pastors from September, 1996 until may of 1997 during this time the church began a “Teen and Youth Discovery" program. This program began with a very small group and doubled in number of attendance. Mrs. Betty Ann was the teen discovery Leader and Mrs. Troy Vyers was the Youth Discovery Leader
May, 1997 First Baptist Church called Bro. Terry Jackson. Bro. Jackson resigned December, 1997.
On April 12, 1998 First Baptist Church called Bro. Cody Montandon.
Bro. Cody Montandon resigned in 2002.
Bro. Mitch Chapman was called to Pastor later that same year, and with his leadership we were able to do a lot of needed updating to the church. The church through his leadership changed its name to that of "Cross Point Baptist Church"
In March, 2011 the church called Bro. Jeff Evans to Pastor, and God blessed our church through his ministry here. In March, 2012, He resigned.

Becoming a lawyer isn’t easy, and there’s a lot of stops the potential student has to make on their way to becoming one. And one of those stops is taking the LSAT. The LSAT, otherwise known as the Law School Admission Test, is the most important test any prospective lawyer needs to take. It’s also one of the most difficult tests that the student is going to take, and as such, they need to be properly prepared for it. To help our readers get the highest score possible on this test, we’ve decided to review some of the best LSAT prep books currently available.

Best Overall: The PowerScore Digital LSAT Bible Trilogy
The LSAT is an extremely difficult test, so the student needs a prep book that breaks it down in a way that they can easily digest it. The problem with most LSAT prep books is that they only cover a portion of the test. Fortunately, these prep books don’t make that mistake and provide the student with the information they need.
This is one of the most comprehensive prep books ever written, so the student will be able to raise their odds of getting a good score quite dramatically. Although this set costs more than other prep books, the student won’t have to buy additional materials to prepare for this test.
This set is written by David M. Killoran and Jon Denning. David Killoran is a test preparation expert with over 25 years of teaching experience and has overseen the preparation of a lot of students who want to take this test. Jon Dennings is a Georgia Institute of Technology graduate who is also a senior 99th percentile instructor on not only the LSAT, but also the GMAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE. He has also assisted scores of students over the last almost two decades in their law school admission process. And their dedication to their craft and their expertise clearly shows in this 3-book volume.
The books that are in this set include the LSAT Reading Comprehension Bible, The LSAT Logical Reasoning Bible, and the LSAT Logic Games Bible. These three books provide a cornerstone that the student can rely on while they’re studying for the LSAT. In these books, the student will master each section of the LSAT, especially the section on Logic, Logical reasoning and reading.
These books have real logic games that come complete with detailed analyses, over a hundred logical reasoning questions, extensive drills and a whole lot more. With this prep set, no one has to fear ever receiving a bad score on the LSAT.
Best Value: The LSAT Trainer
Since we realize that not everyone can spend over $100 on study materials for the LSAT, we wanted to find other sets that weren’t so expensive and we feel like we found what we were looking for when we found this guide. It’s half the price of many sets, yet provides the student with much of the information they need to get a good score on their LSAT.
It’s a book that provides 200+ official LSAT questions and solutions that will help the student exercise their skills and shake off the rust. It also features 30 unique drills that are designed to help with each of the sections of this test.
This book is written by Mike Kim, one of the most respected teachers in the LSAT prep industry. He’s also one of the most well-know LSAT prep teachers around, too. And there’s a good reason why that’s the case. It’s because he has helped students understand standardized exams and deduce exactly what the student needs to do to succeed.
It’s no wonder he was able to craft a book that will help students reach their goals and tackle this difficult test. His book is full of test-taking strategies, practice drills, solutions and just about everything else the student needs to succeed.
Even though it’s not as comprehensive as the set of LSAT study bibles we reviewed, it is more than suitable for most people. What makes it a good alternative to those books is that it has a section that helps the reader assess their weaknesses, so they can strengthen the areas in which they’re lacking.
Some of the sections in this book include reasoning structure, reading strategies, minor question types, LSAT vocabulary, disagreement, and discrepancies, answering questions, and a whole lot more. Anyone looking for a decent prep book for the LSAT will want to consider trying this one out.
Best Affordable: LSAT Prep Book Study Guide & Practice Questions
This book is another LSAT prep book that some people are going to want to consider, especially if they’re on a budget. It’s one of the least expensive guide books on the LSAT, but it still provides a good amount of study material for the student. It’s surely not as comprehensive as other books, but in our opinion, it doesn’t have to be.
It covers just enough material for the student to bolster up weak areas. And because it doesn’t load the reader up with a lot of unnecessary information, it might even be a better guide for studying than some of the other prep books available.
One of the things that we like about this prep book is that it has a pretty extensive test-taking strategy section. In this section, it has information on predicting answers, looking for the wrong answers, avoiding overanalyzing questions and panic, as well as other key points that are important. This guide also has an introduction to the LSAT that provides a brief overview of the test.
This book also has practice questions, answer explanations, and a section on logical reasoning. As we said, it’s not as in-depth as other LSAT prep books, but it is a good start for students who might need a little bit of help taking the test.
The biggest complaint about this study guide is that it’s really more of a study outline. Sure, the reader can take the information outlined in this guide and bolster their skills, but to do that, they are more than likely going to have to purchase other LSAT study guides. This kind of reduces the value of this guide, but we don’t think it reduces it all that much.
Anyone looking for an inexpensive study guide for pushing their skills enough over the hump that they can pass this test will appreciate this guide. For other students who need their guide to be a little bit thicker and to have a little more information, then this guide might not be right for them.
A Guide To Studying For The LSAT
When it comes to taking the Law School Admission Test, having the right prep materials is only half the battle. It’s also important for the student to study in a way that allows them to have every advantage available when they take the test. To help our readers get the most out of their study materials and get the highest score possible, we’ve decided to write this guide. Hopefully, it will allow anyone taking the LSAT to have an advantage over their peers.
What Is The LSAT?
Before we get into this impromptu study guide, we would like to address just exactly what the LSAT is and what it consists of. In this section, we’ll talk about this test and how it differs from other tests that the student might have to take for school.
The LSAT is a test that’s broken down into five different sections. These sections include 2 sections of logical reasoning, a section of logic games, a reading comprehension section, an experimental section, and a writing sample. The logical reasoning sections are 35 minutes each and have approximately 24 to 26 questions each. The logic games section is also 35 minutes long and consists of approximately 24 questions. The other sections are also 35 minutes in length, but the number of questions varies from one to the next. Reading comprehension has up to 28 questions, the experimental section has between 26 to 28 questions, and the writing section is 1 essay. When you factor in each of these sections, along with break times, the student can expect the test to last approximately 3-hours and 30-minutes.
What Does Each Section Of The Test Consist Of?
The Logical Reasoning sections tests the student’s ability to evaluate and analyze arguments. Each question requires the student to read passages and then answer a question about each one. This section of the test accounts for 50% of the test’s score. The next section, Reading Comprehension, is worth 27% of the test’s total score. It tests the test-takers ability to read prose and to not only parse facts from the text but also understand the structure and various points of view. Logic Games is approximately 23% of the test’s score and tests the student on outcomes, order systems, and basic logic. The Writing Section of the test isn’t scored, but it’s sent to Law Schools along with the LSAT scores.
How To Study For The LSAT
As promised, below are some tips that will help you study for the LSAT and get the best possible score on it.
Register For The LSAT Date
The first step to studying for the test is to pick the LSAT date that is appropriate for you. The deadline for registration is approximately 30-days before the test, so you should register approximately 8-weeks before the date that you want to ensure that you not only secure your spot but also so that you have the appropriate amount of time to study.
Set Aside The Appropriate Study Time
The next thing that the student should do is devote plenty of time to study. As a general rule, most students are going to want to spend anywhere from 110 to 120-hours studying for the LSAT. The student shouldn’t try to cram all of this studying into a small time frame, however. They should make sure to spread it over a 5-day week with 3 to 4-hours of study dedicated per day.
Take Practice Tests
It’s also a good idea to begin taking practice tests well in advance of actually taking the test. Studies have shown that students that prepare by taking practice tests perform better than students who don’t take practice tests. Some of the benefits of taking a practice test include being able to identify test-taking weaknesses, learning strategies that help to answer the questions, learning to think on your feet, and reducing anxiety when you actually take the test.
Some Final Tips
Once you’ve dedicated practice time to prepping for the test, it’s a good idea to make sure that you’re ready for the test come test-day. You can do this by ensuring that you get at least 8-hours of sleep before the test, that you eat a protein-packed breakfast the morning of the test, and that you take a snack with you for test day. This will ensure that you’re alert and ready to go when it’s time to take the test. It will also ensure that you get the best score possible.

|Return of the Sun|
The Winter Solstice, or Yule, is the longest night of the year! This is a turning point, the consistent promise of longer days to come. The return of the light, of hope, and salvation!
I write this in gratitude for the magnificence of this year, the highs and the lows. Life is amazing, if nothing else. Mama Earth’s natural fluidity, her seasons, energy cycles, Her consistent transformation ’round the sun and gravitational pull of the moon, reminds me there is a beginning, an end, and a renewal for everything.
The last few months have been the most grueling but deepest integration of my world religion and philosophy studies, so far, completing two theses. The first is a celebration of the often hidden Divine Feminine in Judeo-Christian Western society (excerpt below), the second an in-depth review of how traditional alternative healing is integrating in western biomedicine. The long night reminds me to celebrate the underdog, the shadow, the unspoken hero. The hope, salvation, and promise of balance is the return of light.
|Return of the Son|
|The Return of the Son, Salvation, the Light, occurs this Friday as Christians celebrate the annual remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ to Mother Mary. The cycles of tradition, religion, and spirituality are a consistent reminder of our connection to the Divine. If you celebrate Christmas, I wish you and your family enormous peace, love, hope, and salvation this Christmas season. |
Merry Merry Christmas!
|Inspired by The Theology of Reverend Dr. Wilda Gafney|
Mother Mary’s virtue, her identity as a wayshower for Christian women, extends beyond classic biblical interpretation. In Luke Chapter 1, Mother Mary is visited by the Archangel Gabriel and advised that she will give birth to the Son of God, Jesus. Mother Mary asks the angel, “How can this be?” as she is a virgin. A womanist interpretation, as per Gafney, is in this moment, Mother Mary shows her independence and strength. Mother Mary is a young, Jewish virgin, ready to be married, and is told by an angel of God that she will become pregnant. She doesn’t ask what her betrothed will say, what her father will say, or the shame this will bring to her family. Instead, this powerless woman, born of a time where her body may not have been considered her own, through her free will, talks back to an all-powerful emissary of God and asks “How can this be?” She is courageously withholding consent in this moment, further asking the angel to explain how this should happen to her. The angel advises her of what will happen, a circumstance she has no control over. Mother Mary, regardless of choice, consents God’s will. Mary is not just the Mother of Jesus, but a sister to all women who stand up for the integrity of their bodies, against power dynamics and hierarchy (Gafney, 2020b).

Earlier this year in February, my husband and I rented a beautiful cabin in the middle of Dull’s Tree Farm in Thorntown, Indiana. Imagine waking up in the morning surrounded by thousands of Christmas trees – it was breathtaking. One of my hobbies includes visiting the public libraries of every town I see. When I read about the Thorntown Public Library and their resident cat, Tober, it was a must see event!
I walked into the library and was greeted by the nicest women working there. They gave me a tour of the library and provided some history about the town. I encourage everyone to go and pay them a visit! Yet, in all the nice exchanges and laughs, they all knew why I was really there: on a quest to see Tober.
Tober is a personable little fella. He was sitting on a desk in the office and I was warned that he doesn’t always cooperative in getting his photo taken. My husband assured them that I have the magic touch when it comes to animals (and it is one of my God-given talents, honestly). Tober and I settled into a little conversation, getting to know one another…my husband handled the picture-taking. As you can see, the meeting went very well.
We can learn a lot about financial services through this experience. Given the right mix of helpful and gregarious staff, a little fun facts and figures, as well as providing a unique offering, people will travel often and far to experience something wonderful. [Ever heard of Disneyland?]
What are you doing to make sure people want to come to your practice? Would they travel further to come and have an experience with you and your staff? What changes do you need to make to provide this type of atmosphere? Many of us need to contemplate how to freshen up our value proposition to attract others to want to do business with us.
Channel your inner Tober and get crackin’ on some changes. It will do your practice good!
Be bigger, better and more BIONIC today!

About How To Fall in Love.
While at first glance, this book may seem like a self-help guide for singles, it is actually a provocative novel with unique insight into dating in the age of Tinder hookups. Written by a husband and wife team of New York Times best-selling authors, How to Fall in Love is a heartwarming and funny love story that encourages readers to re-examine their conceptions of romance and the role of love in their life.
This book is, of course, a must-read for anyone in love or looking for love, but it especially resonates with cynics who have written off the possibility of romance. In the era of online dating, Cupid’s age-old trappings like hand-written love notes and flowers have fallen by the wayside.

This book speaks to the current “hook-up” culture of society and promotes timeless wisdom for the modern age.

Known by millions for his inspirational and comedic keynote speeches to aspiring entrepreneurs and businesspeople, he himself has also seen wild success in the business arena.

With a natural gift for public performing, Kosage has been able to channel his artistic talent into helping grow businesses and providing people with the opportunities to become the best possible versions of themselves. Kosage has always relished the opportunity to attract large audiences, and with admirable rhetoric and an articulate tongue, he can be a captivating speaker on any subject he puts his mind to.
Most recently, Dean Kosage has been able to use his skills as a fine raconteur, communicating his story to the public. Kosage’s career has given him a wealth of experience in various industries, and he has had to overcome a number of financial and emotional hurdles along the way. These experiences provided a wealth of material for Kosage, who recently co-edited the best-selling book Defining Moments. This book is a collection of short stories penned by young aspiring entrepreneurs as well as company executives, who recount tales of difficulty in their careers, and short anecdotes on times of adversity. The aim of the book is to quite simply awaken the courage that lies within us all.
The book received hugely positive reviews, and is considered by many as one of the most inspirational books to have been released in the past decade.


Arriving much later than I planned in Dublin, my friend picked me up at the airport and took me on the scenic drive to my hotel through Phoenix Park. Phoenix Park is a fenced park that covers over 1700 acres. The President of Ireland’s house is located in this park. It is not a park in the sense of the American word to me though. It felt wild and I don’t remember seeing a fence. My friend said that frequently deer are seen in the park. It also home to the zoo. Unfortunately, this was the only time I was in the park. It looked like an amazing place to spend the day relaxing.
The next morning, I got up and went straight to Trinity College to see the Book of Kells. (As a good librarian/archivist should do on a trip to Dublin.) I had heard the line is long and to get there early. You can buy your ticket online, but I didn’t do that as sometimes I am unsure what I will want to do first when I reach a city. The line moved quickly though and there weren’t too many people waiting. First you go through an exhibit about the history of the book and what the illuminations mean and other interesting facts about medieval manuscripts. There are a few other manuscripts in this area. However, this area is small and that small crowd outside filled this area quickly. I decided to skip much of the exhibit and head straight for the Book of Kells. The Book of Kells is an illuminated manuscript of four gospels of the New Testament. It also contains other texts. It is believed to have been produced around the year 800 A.D. The book is beautifully illustrated. I will say that there is no queuing system around the book making it hard to get in to see the book. I had to wait for a break in the circle around the book. Photos are not allowed in the room, so you will have to go to the Trinity College website to see it. Once you leave the Book of Kells, you continue into the Old Library of Trinity College. This is called the Long Room and it contains the oldest books held by Trinity College. For a library fan, it was great. It looks and smells old and immediately gives you the sense of learning. There are sculptures of famous thinkers and authors here as well as other historic Irish documents.
After leaving Trinity College, I headed to the National Museum of Ireland Archaeology to see the bog bodies. Bog bogies are bodies that have been discovered in peat bogs. Many of them are hundreds of years old. The bodies have been preserved because of the nature of the bog. These bodies are not just skeletons but include skin, hair and sometimes clothing. They kind of look like a well-loved leather handbag! I did not take pictures as these are dead people and that would be disrespectful. Also, it is a museum and light from cameras does damage to artifacts. If you want to find out more or see pictures, here is a link to a NOVA article about them. There is also a good book on the subject called The Bog People by P.V. Glob.
After some yarn shopping and lunch, I headed back to my hotel to drop off my purchases. Since Christchurch Cathedral was right across the street, I decided to make it my next stop. The church has existed on this spot since 1030! It is famous for its bells and also being the burial site of Strongbow. The current structure was renovated between 1871 and 1878 and the renovation was done one the “temporary” structure that was built 1562. The cathedral is beautiful and has lots of stonework. I was amazed by the tile on the floor. However, I thought the best part of the cathedral was the tomb vault in the basement. You feel like you have stepped hundreds of years back in time back there. It feels so much like the past that the tv show The Tudors filmed scenes in the tombs. Some of the costumes were on display.
Next up was Dublin Castle. This has been the heart of Dublin since the 930’s when it was a Viking settlement. The history of how it became a castle is too long to tell here, but it is worth seeing if you get to Dublin. I had missed the last full tour of the day, so I opted to do the Medieval tour of the old city walls. These are all underground now. While the tour is short and expensive, it was worth it to me and the old city walls are very impressive to see. The area surrounding Dublin Castle is filled with gardens and other interesting places to see. There was a Shakespeare play being performed in the gardens in the evening and there is also the Chester Beatty Library, which houses some impressive manuscript collections. Explore the area as you might run across an art exhibit or play that you didn’t know was going on.


Obituaries of Christian Ackerman Sr. and Anna Belsley Ackerman |
(contributed by Roberta Buetel from a copy of a newspaper article.)
In Memoriam Christian Ackerman Sr. March 29, 1903
After a long life, full of good work and kindness, the spirit of Christian Ackerman has passed to eternal rest, death occurring Sunday March 29, 1903. His demise was apparently due to old age, although for some time he was troubled slightly with disorders of the stomach.
Mr. Ackerman lived to be eighty nine years old, being born in 1813 near Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. He left Europe for America in 1838 and for the first six months settled near Hamilton, Ohio. He then journeyed to Illinois, about three miles from Spring Bay, where he lived about 2 years. He made his next move near Groveland wher he remained until 1851. He then moved on the farm now occupied by Gottlob Aupperle, where he lived for twenty years, then moving to Morton where he has since made his home.
In 1839 he was married to Miss Anna Belsley, the surviving widow. He also leaves four children: John Ackerman, Mrs Anna Wittmer, and Miss Lena Ackerman, all of Morton, and Mrs. Mary Rassi of Cissna Park, Ill. His son Christian, met his death in that terrible boiler explosion on Sep 15, 1884. A daughter, Mrs Lydia Hirstein died about eleven years ago. Mr. Ackermanís grand-children number 43 and his great grand-children 15.
Mr. Ackerman was an exceptional husband and father and a true Christian man. Generous in every charitable work, liberal in his benefactions to the poor and sick, tender of heart and touched by the suffering of others, his life was a benediction, abounding in every good word and work. The poor and the suffering loose a generous friend in his death. The greater part of his life was spent in the vicinity where he died, where all learned to esteem him for his kind and careful life and many virtues.
The Funeral services were held at the German Apostolic Christian church, Tuesday afternoon, the Revs Zimmerman and Hohulin, of Goodfield officiating. Relatives and friends from almost every surrounding town and many from a distance gathered to view the remains and pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. The words spoken by the officiating clergymen were full of tenderness and paid high tributes to the many virtues and good life of Mr. Ackerman.
Interment took place in the Apostolic burying grounds. A very large number of relatives and friends accompanied the remains to their last resting place.
In Memoriam Anna Belsley Ackerman May 2nd, 1903
About a month ago occurred the death of Mr. Christian Ackerman at the age of 89 years, and Saturday May 2nd, his wife and life companion joined him in his eternal rest.
Mrs. Ackerman died at the age of eighty-three. She was born near Strassburg, Alsace in Germany, in the month of May 1820. In 1837 Mrs. Ackerman came to America and was married to Mr. Christian Ackerman in the year 1839. Her maiden name was Miss Anna Belsley. There remain to morn her loss, four children: John Ackerman, Mrs Anna Wittmer, and Miss Lena Ackerman, all of Morton, and Mrs. Mary Rassi of Cissna Park, Ill. Also one sister Mrs. Joseph Hauter, Sr., of Morton, and a brother, Christian Belsley residing at Roanoke, Ill.
Mrs. Ackerman began to fail in health during the last few years and one year ago was seized with a paralytic stroke. Since then she gradually grew weaker and Saturday last joined her lately deceased husband in death.
Her beautiful life was crowned by a religious belief that added to the earnestness of faith, the beauty of good example and the charm of a loving soul, which helped her to bear lifeís trials without a murmur.
The funeral took place Monday from the Apostolic Christian Church, Rev.Rudolph Witzig officiating. Relatives and friends from all the nearby places gathered here to pay their respects to the departed. The interment was in the Apostolic Christian Cemetery.


The EU-LAC Foundation and the Regionalism Observatory are pleased to present this publication that compiles a series of contributions from prominent experts dedicated to the analysis of relations between Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean from a multilateral perspective. This book is moreover a continuation of a series of webinars co-organised by both entities during 2021, whose recordings are available via the following link: https://www.youtube.com/c/Observat%C3%B3riodeRegionalismoODR
The first chapter of the book, written by Karina Mariano, Cairo Junqueira and Bárbara Neves, focuses on the overall EU-LAC relations in such challenging times. Considering the turbulent scenario seen in both regions, the authors reflected upon the following questions: How have recent geopolitical, economic, health and environmental challenges affected EU-LAC relations? How relevant is the EU-LAC bi-regional association to address global collective issues today? What opportunities can be identified for EU-LAC bi-regional relations? What EU-LAC countries need to do in order to seize them? Will future EU-LAC relations become more or less a priority for both sides of the Atlantic?
In the second part of the book, Gerardo Caetano, Isabel Camisão and Bruno Luciano assess how democratic and illiberal threats have been affecting both the European Union and the Latin America and Caribbean region, as well as the relations between the two, which has been traditionally grounded in shared norms such as democracy and the rule of law. In doing so, the authors aimed to address the following questions: How is the European Union responding to these democratic threats? How effective is the EU rule of law mechanism? How can the EU give a stronger voice to its citizens? How have Latin American governments and civil society responded to democratic breakdowns and the rise of illiberal leaders in the region? How has the region dealt with concrete cases of political, economic and humanitarian crises such as the one seen in Venezuela? How have these internal democratic drifts affected its external partnerships based on shared values, such as the EU-LAC partnership? Can current EU-LAC relations still contribute to the defence and promotion of democracy in the two regions?
The chapters from Sandra Guzmán and José Antonio Sanahuja, which focused on the envi- ronment and climate change agenda, highlight how environmental issues and climate change have been addressed within EU and LAC regional agenda. Therefore, they reflect upon questions such as: How is the European Union addressing climate change? How does the EU articulate its view regarding environmental issues and climate change in multilateral forums? How do environmental issues affect the interaction of the EU with key partners in international affairs? How have countries in the LAC region been affected by climate changes? How do they articulate the need to address environmental issues with economic growth? How have they articulated a common vision regarding climate change at a regional and global level? How are environmental issues and climate change introduced in the EU-LAC partnership? How do the EU and LAC countries manage key challenges in this dimension? Can EU-LAC partnership evolve into a more meaningful and strategic approach to climate change at a global level?
The part on trade and sustainability, composed of contributions from Mariana Vazquez, Marcus Salles and Regiane Bressan, discusses how the European Union and Latin American and Caribbean countries have been affected by an increasingly geopolitical trade order, but also by new sustainability concerns raised by the global climate emergency and the coro- navirus pandemic. Thus, the authors explored: How have the trade relations between the EU and Latin American and Caribbean countries been affected by an increasingly assertive China and its major presence in international trade as well as the new US administration? Are trade relations between the EU and CELAC countries complementary or contradictory to the global trade governance underpinned by the World Trade Organization? What challenges lie ahead for the conclusion of the EU-Mercosur Agreement and what role do sustainability considerations play in the future of the agreement and of international trade?
The fifth part of the book discusses how current global challenges have impacted human rights in EU and LAC countries. Jan Wouters, Gustavo Müller, Dina Sebastião and Samara Guimarães address the following questions: What have the EU and LAC governments been doing to address social tensions and humanitarian crises endangering human rights? What is the EU doing to face erosion of human rights and the threat of potential setbacks in a multicultural Europe? What can EU-LAC cooperation do to put human rights and multiculturalism in the multilateral agenda? Have their internal related problems negatively affected cooperation in this field? Or can they foster solutions for both regions to improve human rights?
The coordinators thank all the experts who contributed to this publication, as well as all the panellists and attendees who participated in the series of webinars. A special acknowledgment goes to Ilenia Vásquez Ortiz, intern at the EU-LAC Foundation, who assisted with the revision and edition of this book.


When we reflect upon the remarkable figures in American history, George Washington’s name stands tall. As the first President of the United States, he played a pivotal role in shaping the nation. A man of integrity, leadership, and vision, Washington’s education undoubtedly played a crucial role in his development. In this article, we delve into the educational journey of George Washington, uncovering the institutions, experiences, and self-education that molded him into the revered figure we remember today.
Early Life and Education of George Washington
George Washington’s journey began in Westmoreland County, Virginia in 1732. Born into a prosperous family, Washington’s early years were filled with opportunities for education. His mother, Mary Ball Washington, emphasized the importance of learning, instilling in him a thirst for knowledge. Private tutors were engaged to provide him with a solid foundation in subjects like mathematics, English, and Latin.
Formal Education of George Washington
While Washington’s early education laid the groundwork, he did not pursue higher education in the traditional sense. At the time, formal schooling options were limited in the Virginia Colony. However, Washington did attend several local schools, including the Reverend James Marye’s school in Fredericksburg. Although these were not prestigious institutions, they imparted essential knowledge and skills to the young Washington.
Washington’s Self-Education and Practical Learning
George Washington’s commitment to self-improvement was unparalleled. He recognized that education extended beyond the confines of a classroom. As a voracious reader, Washington devoured books on subjects ranging from history and politics to agriculture and military strategy. His personal library became a treasure trove of knowledge, shaping his worldview and understanding.
In addition to self-education through books, Washington’s practical learning experiences were instrumental in his development. His time as a land surveyor not only honed his mathematical abilities but also provided valuable insights into the geography and topography of the region. Furthermore, Washington’s military education, gained through practical training and experiences on the battlefield, equipped him with the skills necessary for his future leadership.
Frequently Asked Questions about George Washington’s Education
Did George Washington graduate from college?
No, George Washington did not graduate from college. While higher education was valued during his time, opportunities were limited in the Virginia Colony. Washington’s education primarily relied on private tutoring, local schools, and self-directed learning.
Was George Washington a lawyer?
Contrary to popular belief, George Washington did not pursue a career in law. His interests and ambitions were primarily focused on military service and public service.
Did George Washington receive any honorary degrees?
No, George Washington did not receive any honorary degrees. However, his contributions to the nation and his leadership during the Revolutionary War and as the first President of the United States earned him immense respect and admiration.
How did George Washington’s education influence his leadership style?
George Washington’s education played a significant role in shaping his leadership style. His exposure to various subjects, extensive reading, and practical experiences provided him with a well-rounded perspective. Washington’s commitment to lifelong learning, discipline, and strategic thinking were crucial elements of his leadership approach.
In conclusion, George Washington’s educational journey was a unique blend of formal schooling, self-education, and practical learning. While he did not have the opportunity to pursue higher education, his thirst for knowledge and dedication to self-improvement propelled him forward. Washington’s education, both in the classroom and beyond, laid the foundation for his remarkable leadership and enduring legacy. As we reflect on the life of this great Founding Father, we are reminded of the importance of education in shaping individuals and nations alike. George Washington serves as an inspiration, reminding us that true education goes beyond the confines of institutions and empowers us to reach our fullest potential.


Here, the macrocosm gives way to the microcosm, which is larger and more brilliant than anything in the world could ever be. The monastic heart is infinite and eternal, going beyond the bounds of time and space. One who learns to live here is no longer enticed by anything in the world. Here is uncreated light which casts no shadow. In this realm, a person becomes truly themselves, restoring their nature as it was intended.
The spiritual life is such a realm into which the wisdom of this world cannot penetrate.
– St. Theophan the Recluse


(Tampa, FL) GSL Solutions, in conjunction with USA Environmental, Inc. and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers South Atlantic District, published an interactive storybook for mobile devices. "UXO Safety" follows the adventures of Roxie, Sgt. Woof, and their friends as they explore Camp Two Feathers and learn about the dangers of unexploded ordnance, or UXO.
Michael Gaines, one of the founders of GSL Solutions, is enthusiastic about the book's launch. "This was a very collaborative project, and we're grateful to have had the opportunity to work on it," he says. Mr. Gaines says the project took the collective skills of GSL's team members to make it work. "It's something we've never done before."
Going to camp as a child inspired Mr. Gaines to write the story. Using characters created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from around the world for other educational materials, he developed a story that would illustrate the fun of going to camp as well as the danger of UXO. Designer Filipp Burykin and developer Erik Gern worked with Mr. Gaines to develop the book for the mobile platform. Dave Hodgdon, better known in the US Senate for his voice heard in weekly podcasts, narrated the book.
GSL, USA Environmental and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have collaborated before on educational websites for students and a video produced by South East High School of Manatee County. GSL Solutions, located in Tampa, Florida, was founded in 1999. It has developed software and websites for local Florida school districts, businesses and large organizations. They also provide web development services for the US Senate and House of Representatives. This is the company's first foray into the educational eBook market.

In this booklet, that we found in the files of the central archive of the German Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund (SDS), some pictures, probably the most impressive ones, are missing as probably they have been used for publications of the SDS.
The militant fight of the Japanese Zengakuren, as described in this booklet, was having an important impact on the development of the youth movement in Germany.
Probably in December the All Japan federation of student autonomous associations publishes the booklet "Zengakuren. Struggle of Japanese students autumn 1967", that we only have a damaged copy of, containing the paragraphs:
- "Haneda struggle against Sato's visit of South Vietnam and USA" from 8th Oct. to 12th Nov. 1967;
- "Struggle of Zengakuren Aug. - Nov. 1967";
- "International Day against…" probably: the Vietnam war;
- "Struggle in Okinawa for return to Japan mainland";
- "From Sunagawa to Sanrizuka developing struggle of peasants"; and
- "State power intends destruction of Zengakuren application of subversive activity prevention law planned".

What’s the RIOmobile?
RIO stands for Reading and Inspiration through Outreach, and the RIOmobile is essentially a library on wheels. On board, you can check out and return books, music, and movies, renew items you have checked out, pick up your holds, sign up for a library card, and pay your fines. The RIOmobile makes regularly scheduled stops on a weekly and bi-weekly basis at scheduled stops around the community.
Do I need a Library card to check out materials from the RIOmobile?
You will need a library card with the New Braunfels Public Library to check out most of the items on the RIOmobile. If you do not have one, you can sign up for one on the bookmobile, just bring an ID and proof of address (a piece of mail with your name and address will do).
How long can I check out items from the RIOmobile?
All items check out for the same amount of time as they would from the other Libraries.
Do I have to return items checked out from the RIOmobile to the RIOmobile?
No. You can return items checked out on the RIOmobile to either the Main Library or the Westside Community Center. Additionally, items checked out at those locations can be returned to the RIOmobile.
My items are due, but the RIOmobile missed my stop. Will I be charged fines?
If the RIOmobile cannot make its regularly scheduled stop, you will not be charged fines on any overdue items until the next scheduled stop.
Can I pay my fines on the RIOmobile?
Yes. We accept cash, check, and credit card.
How do I place a hold to be picked up from the RIOmobile?
If this is your first time placing holds on items to be picked up from the RIOmobile, you will need to tell us which stop you would like to pick your books up either in person at the Library or RIOmobile, by calling us at 830-221-4318, or by filling out the form in the box below.
After you have designated what stop you would like to have your books delivered to, you can order holds online on our catalog as always, just be sure to select “bookmobile” as the location to pick up the hold.
Can I have a hold be sent to another stop or to the library?
To have a hold made available for pickup at a different stop or library, just call 830-221-4318. Please note that it might take a day or two to process these requests.
The catalog says a book is located on the RIOmobile. Can I come to any stop to pick it up?
The short answer is “probably?” Given the fluid nature of our collection, if you see an item in our collection you would like to pick up, just give us a call, and we can set it aside for you, or place a hold on it online.
I want the RIOmobile to come to my neighborhood or community event.
We periodically reevaluate and add new stops throughout the year. Contact Jonathan Margheim, the Outreach Librarian in charge of the RIOmobile at JMargheim@NBTexas.org or 830-221-4318 for more information.
If you would like to start picking up some or all of your holds on the RIOmobile we will need to make a modification to your account in our computers. Please fill out the form below or call 830.221.4318


After 16 Years, Surprising Reasons For the Resurgence of Japanese Manga "Pichi Pichi Pitch"SPECIAL INTERVIEW
"Pichi Pichi Pitch" was serialized in Japanese girls' manga magazine "Nakayoshi" (Kodansha) from 2002 to 2005. The story is based on the legend of the Little Mermaid and follows the love story of the main characters, Lucia and Kaito. Many children became enamored with the mermaids who use singing as a weapon to fight their enemies.
In August 2021, "Pichi Pichi Pitch" will be serialized in "Nakayoshi" again. The new chapter, "Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch aqua", will tell the story of Lucia and Kaito's daughter, Rukia.
The story of Rukia, the daughter of Lucia and Kaito, will be told in the new chapter, "aqua". The author, Pink Hanamori, and Asumi Nakada, who played Lucia in the TV anime, talked about the appeal of the "Pichi Pichi Pitch" series.
Twenty years have passed since the start of the series.
─ "Pichi Pichi Pitch" was serialized from 2002 to 2005, but after 16 years, a new chapter, "Pichi Pichi Pitch aqua," has started. What was the impetus for this?
Hanamori: I was offered the job by the editorial department of "Nakayoshi", so the editor might be more qualified to explain.
Editor: We had been getting the feeling that the "Pitch boom" had been rekindled over the past few years, and we heard that the 15th anniversary live performance (a non-profit charity event) that Asumi-chan and the other members of the "Pitch" anime group held unofficially in 2019 was a great success.
Asumi: Yes, it was. The event was held without mentioning the "Pitch" name, but even so, the tickets were sold out, which made me think once again that "Pitch" is amazing.
Editor: Sales of "Pitch" merchandise were also very good, so I thought that there might be a demand from "Pitch" fans who have grown up. So I suggested to Hanamori-sensei, "Why don't we make a new chapter? "
Hanamori: We had several ideas for the content of the new chapter. It could be about Lucia and Kaito's child, or it could be about Lucia afterwards. Or what about we depict "Pitch" from a completely different world? After a lot of ideas and thinking, I decided to make the story of Lucia and Kaito's child, Rukia.


Reading to children every day is so important! One of my favorite series to read to the kids when they were little was and is The Berenstain Bear books. They are all great for gently teaching how to get along and deal with situations. Bedtime battles? Trouble telling the truth? Messy rooms? New baby? They’ve got us covered for all that and so much more.
Sometimes, they are just great fun. This week I got to introduce this fun book to some new little friends before mailing it off to one of my favorite new readers. The Berenstain’s delightful The Spooky Old Tree is a lot of fun to read to little ones–especially at this time of year. Gather them around…make sure at least one of your little ones is on your lap so that you can wiggle them all around making big shiver movements–and big surprised eyes–when the little bears finally get scared. Be as animated as possible reading this fun tale. Point to those bears and count them as they head out on their adventure. Point to the stick, the light and the rope each time you read about them. As you get to the end of the story, speed up so that you are verbally running along with those scared little bears all the way home…whew! to safety!
I especially love the subtle message that
Mom = home = safety.
I hope that you enjoy the Berenstains adventures as much as we have.


LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) — Arkansas is temporarily prevented from enforcing a law that would have allowed it Criminal charges against librarians and booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors, a federal judge ruled Saturday.
US District Judge Timothy L. Brooks issued an injunction against the law, which would also have created a new process for challenging library materials and requiring them to be moved to areas inaccessible to children. The measure, which was signed into law by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this year, was scheduled to take effect on August 1.
A coalition including the Central Arkansas Library System in Little Rock had challenged the law, saying fears of prosecution under the measure could cause libraries and booksellers to stop carrying contestable titles.
The judge also denied a motion by the defendants, who include state prosecutors, to have the case dismissed.
The Arkansas ACLU, which represents some of the plaintiffs, welcomed the court’s decision, saying the lack of an injunction would have compromised First Amendment rights.
“The question we had to ask was: Do Arkansans still have legal access to reading materials? Fortunately, the justice system has once again defended our cherished freedoms,” said Holly Dickson, the ACLU’s Arkansas executive director, in a statement.
The lawsuit comes from lawmakers in a growing number of conservative states push for action This makes it easier to ban or restrict access to books. The number of attempts to ban or restrict books across the US last year was Highest value in 20 years The American Library Association has pursued such efforts.
Several other states, including Iowa, Indiana, and Texas, have enacted laws that restrict access to, or make it easier to challenge, certain materials.
Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in an email Saturday that his office will “consider the judge’s opinion and continue to vigorously defend the law.”
Central Arkansas Library Systems executive director Nate Coulter said the judge’s 49-page decision recognized the law as censorship, a violation of the Constitution and a false disparagement of librarians.
“As the folks say in Southwest Arkansas, this order is as potent as horseradish!” he said in an email.
“I’m relieved that the dark cloud hanging over the CALS librarians has cleared for now,” he added.
Authors Guild general counsel Cheryl Davis said the organization was “thrilled” with the decision. She said enforcement of this law “will likely restrict the right to free speech of older minors who are able to read and process more complex reading materials than young children.”
The Arkansas lawsuit names the state’s 28 local prosecutors as defendants, along with Crawford County in western Arkansas. A separate lawsuit is challenging the Crawford County Library’s decision to move LGBTQ+-themed children’s books to a separate section of the library.
Also among the plaintiffs challenging Arkansas’ restrictions are the Fayetteville and Eureka Springs Carnegie Public Libraries, the American Booksellers Association, and the Association of American Publishers.


How Astrology Works: A Theoretical Framework by David Cochrane
Astrology is where science and mysticism intersect and has been a controversial subject throughout history. Some people believe that astrology provides valuable and helpful information and yet others believe it is an ancient superstitious practice.
Among people that believe astrology works, there are many opinions about how and why astrology works. Several believe astrology is an intersection of the mystical and the scientific. If so, could it be based on fractal sacred geometry? Decide for yourself.


Laugh & Learn about English with Luke
I love a good story. Don’t you?
This is a collection of anecdotes and examples of mistakes non-native speakers have made in the process of learning and using English as a second language. These stories have been collected over 25 years in various countries and from numerous nationalities, and include difficulties with vocabulary, pronunciation, writing and culture. All examples have a twist; by making unintentional mistakes, non-native users of English have added a new, humorous dimension to the English language. As English is expanding at an ever faster rate to become the world’s number one language of communication, many ‘Englishes’ are evolving and this book is only a small selection of the quirky mistakes made in this process.
“Luke Zimmermann uses hilarious stories to make the teaching of language come alive. As the title promises, you will laugh and learn about English.”
Richard Lederer, author of Anguished English
"Overall, I think anyone who loves grammar (like me!) will get a kick out of Laugh & Learn about English with Luke. It's a quick read and the bit of education.
At times, the book had me laughing out loud."

What is it about Jane Austen's works that has so entranced generations of readers? Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, and yet as late as 2005 it was being made into a movie! Why is the story so enduring? The characters so identifiable? Maybe it was because Austen was writing about her world, the life she was used to and the people she met.
It is tempting to read Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility with the same attitude we have in reading a work of historical fiction: the distinction that that was yesterday, and this is today, and that somehow the author knew that. Jane Austen, however, was actually living in a world of carriages, bonnets, and strict standards of propriety. She "wrote what she knew", which means that this accurate snapshot of 19th century England is very like an accurate snapshot of 21st century America, at least as far as the characters are concerned.
Any girl who has had romantic flights of fancy, dreams of a rich and handsome prince charming, and a love of music and poetry can immediately identify with Marianne Dashwood (S&S). And if you are an imminently practical girl with a sister like the former you might see yourself in Elinor. Maybe you have "a lively, playful disposition, which delight(s) in any thing ridiculous", and you imagine that Elizabeth Bennet is your twin. Whoever you identify with, it's almost certain that there's someone in an Austen book that reminds you of someone you know.
Another reason I personally love Austen's works, is that every time I read one of the books or watch one of the movies I am left with a certain wish, a wish to be able to walk around the house in empire-waist dresses and put my hair up in lovely, curling styles. I want to learn lovely pieces on the piano and speak with gentility, move with grace. It seems that life could be so much more elegant and romantic, if one could only recreate the atmosphere of the early 1800s. I would hate to just sit around and do nothing but read, dance, and flirt with rich men all day (doesn't sound too bad, though), but it's really the fact that these people are real ladies, with the exclusion of such modern characters as Lydia and Kitty, of course.
I know that I can't go back in time, but I am always being inspired to be a little more...Austen-ish... in my everyday life. It would be interesting to do something like a weeklong challenge: "how Austen-like can you be?".
How about you girls? Why do you like or (God forbid!) not like Jane Austen's novels, characters or plotlines? Why do you think that they are so enduring?

Does Greenshot also have a kind of Library (similar to Snagit Editor Library)?
Does Greenshot also have a kind of Library (similar to Snagit Editor Library) where you can make edits/corrections to an earlier made sceenshot?
For example: a few months ago I took a screenshot, and at that time I edited this screenshot by adding borders, speech bubbles, highlights and so on.
But now I need to correct 1 of the speech bubbles.
Can I pick-up this "old" screenshot again, and make changes to it, or do I have to re-start from scratch?
