Proper 21 Sermon Outline (2005)

Proper 21 (Sept 25 – Oct 1)
Texts: Philippians 2:1-13;
Matt. 21:23-32; Ez. 18

  1. Pick up where we left off last week — Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
    1. More important than this week’s parable; especially the way it leads into the theme verses for this week in Philippians.
    2. Recap parable and where we left off last week — the question of God. Is he the owner of the vineyard? Surprising elements of this vineyard owner: relentless in recruiting workers, generous in paying his workers.
    3. But also different from God, the God we come to know in Jesus Christ. The all-day workers are still envious of this owner because he still has a lot more than them. Could have afforded to give them more. We’re the same, right?
    4. But Jesus gives us a huge hint with his ending: the first will be last and the last will be first.
    5. Jesus comes as the God who takes last place among us.
  2. Today’s second lesson is all about this God that Jesus shows us who takes last place among us.
    1. Envy and Rivalry as the basic elements of our sinfulness.
    2. Jesus comes into this world as one sinless, namely, as one who is not about envy and rivalry, despite being equal with God.
    3. In the Spirit, we are able to receive that same mind, that same attitude, that same way of being in the world.
    4. This is the love that created the world and continues to care for it. It is a love which creates instead of destroys. This is the love which you and I can have for each other and for God’s creation in Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit.
    5. Creative of relationship. That’s why Christians believe in the Trinity. Within the Godhead itself is this basic loving relationship which creates. Which reaches out beyond boundaries of normal human relationships and breaks down the barriers.
    6. Shows itself in service — our theme for the day
  3. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    1. History day for St. Paul’s — German Lutheran heritage
    2. Nazi Germany both the best and worst of that German Lutheran heritage
      1. Worst: extreme racism, a closing in on itself of the German volk to make scapegoat of all others — violent, destruction of all other relationships — low moment for so many Lutheran Christians, who went along with it.
      2. Best: the kind of resistance which someone like Bonhoeffer showed, putting Christ at the center of that resistance.
    3. Project of translating his Works into English — 16 volumes in German; half done in English, 8 volumes
    4. Christology lectures, 1933 in Berlin, vol. 12; Phil. 2 at the heart of it
    5. Letters and papers from prison, vol. 8: Jesus Christ as “the man for others”; quote about church
    6. Life Together, vol. 5, quotes on pp. 98-101.
  4. Close with Eucharist, being fed for service

Opening Comments: Elements of a New Reformation

“Take heart, it’s me; do not be afraid!” There is so much to be afraid of in our world right now. The list is depressing, as well as frightening. With so much to be afraid of, it compounds matters if one’s God can also be frightening. It not only adds to the list of things to be afraid of, with God’s power to harm imagined as formidable, but holding a view of a violent God justifies greater human violence, as well. We punish people because God does and commands us to do the same. We favor those in power to the neglect of those who aren’t because we imagine that’s what God does, too. God blesses and curses. Obviously, those who are in power are the blessed, and those on the margins are cursed.

Matthew’s Jesus, from beginning to end, presents us with a completely different God. He begins with the beatitudes, flipping upside-down the usual list of who’s blessed (5:1-12). His teaching ends with the “Son of Man” judging the nations based on prioritizing those on the margins, with the usual culture of neglecting the marginalized cursed to suffer the consequences of their own violence (25:31-46). All of this climaxes with Jesus himself coming as the “Son of Man” precisely through choosing to suffer the typical human violence justified by frightful gods of violence.

Here in the middle of the Gospel, Jesus stages an acted-out parable that previews the dramatic difference in gods. It comes at the fourth watch of the night, prime-time for the malevolent spirits who are agents of the gods. The disciples think Jesus is one of them, a ghost. It’s me, he says, echoing the name of God itself, Yahweh, I am. He is here to reveal the true God as one who has nothing to do with violence, with punishment, with harming human beings. Jesus brings the divine presence as one to calm human fears, not stoke them. Jesus brings a divine presence that is actively working for peace in the face of human violence.

There is another crucial dimension to this acted-out parable. Walking on the water recalls the times when God enabled the people of Israel to pass through troubled waters. One was with Moses through the Red Sea. The second was with Joshua through the Jordan River and into the Promised Land (Joshua 1-4). As Matthew 14 closes with this scene, it is the latter, Joshua taking Israel into the Promised Land to face the seven nation of people who already live there (Deut 7:1-2), which sets up the acted-out parable of Matthew 15: this second Joshua (Jesus) who will encounter these Gentile descendants of Canaan and reveal the God of mercy, not genocide. But that’s for next week (Proper 15A).

See notes for the 2020 sermon on these themes and also a video of the sermon/worship.

1 Kings 19:9-18

1. James Alison, “Theology Amidst the Dust and Stones,” ch. 2 in Faith Beyond Resentment. The opening section gives a moving account of Elijah’s ministry coming to grips with sacred violence. See an excerpt, “Alison on Elijah.”

2. Gil Bailie, Violence Unveiled, also has an excellent section on Elijah, “Elijah: Anti-sacrificial Sacrifice” (excerpt), pp. 169-173. Bailie’s notion of “anti-sacrificial sacrifice” has become central to me, similar to Sandor Goodhart’s “idolatry of anti-idolatry.” I think it characterizes much of the history of the church: in taking up the noble cause of stamping out sacrifice, we have carried out our cause performing our own bloody sacrifices. We slaughter Aztecs, for example, in the name of being anti-sacrificial. A good deal of modern liberation theology can also come under this banner. Our human efforts at liberation are often bloody and destructive. Finally, anti-sacrificial sacrifice represents that sacred violence most resistant to our seeing it as sacred violence since it seems to be the ultimate just cause. It relates to the Romans 9-11 passages, as I reflected on last week (in light of Sandor Goodhart‘s exegesis of Jonah): the Christ event had to happen among the Jews because they were God’s people chosen for the revelation of idolatry. They are anti-idolatrous, which can so easily turn into anti-idolatrous idolatry — as evidenced by a long, bloody history of the church doing precisely that.

3. Robert Hamerton-Kelly, sermon from July 13, 2003 (Woodside Village Church), 2nd in a series of eleven sermons on the prophets.

Genesis 37:1-4, 12-36

1. René Girard, with this passage begins a several week serial reading through the Joseph saga in the Revised Common Lectionary. The Joseph saga is one of Girard’s prime examples of the Hebrew scriptures beginning the process of revealing the perspective of the victim. He first wrote on it in Things Hidden, “Joseph,” pp. 149-154. More recently, he came back to it in I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, pp. 106-112; Girard compares the Joseph saga to the Oedipus myth as a central illustration of the Bible’s uniqueness in demythologizing the mythological viewpoint.

2. For a complete bibliography on this important saga within Girardian literature, see next week (Proper 15A).

3. In 1996 I had merged the Peter on the lake story (the Gospel text below) with the Joseph saga in talking about faith as keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus through the stormy violence of the cross to the new life at Easter — a sermon entitled “Keeping Your Eyes on the Lord.”

Romans 10:5-15

1. Gil Bailie, “Paul’s Letter to the Romans” audio tape series, tape #5. Bailie has some valuable reflections on the necessary role of the rejecters. Was it necessary for our salvation that someone play the role of rejecting Jesus? St. Paul is wrestling with this question of why it had to be his own people who play the role of the persecutors of Jesus. Gil contends that St. Paul never comes up with a completely satisfactory answer. He shifts around trying many possible answers over chapters 9-11 but finally ends with the doxology, a pointing to the mystery of God’s ways.

One thing that Paul is clear about: their rejection of Jesus does not cancel their election as God’s people. Jesus himself is of the chosen people, and so are the first witnesses of the resurrection who do accept Jesus’ message and mission. But so are many of those who rejected Jesus. Does their chosenness actually imply that they were chosen to play the necessary role of rejecter? That’s the mystery.

2. Brian McLaren, A New Kind of Christianity: Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith, pp. 143-157. McLaren suggests a theme for making a unified reading of Romans that I think works well — namely, Jews and Gentiles being able to live together in Christ, who is “the firstborn within a large family” (Rom. 8:29). This theme coincides with my own choice for the clearest statement of the Gospel in Ephesians 2: grace manifests itself chiefly as God creating one new humanity in place of the two. This is the context for McLaren as well, since this chapter comes as his response to one the “Ten Questions That Are Transforming the Faith.” Question #5 is, “What is the Gospel?” (chap. 14). For more on this centrality of this question and its answer, see my Opening Comments for Proper 6A.

Chap. 15 is McLaren’s reading of Romans in light of the Gospel as Jesus’ Kingdom of God manifesting itself as Paul’s bringing together of Jews and Gentiles. See the citation on this book in Proper 4A for a more complete description of the theme and McLaren’s Seven Move outline for Romans.

This passage comes within his Fifth Move: Address Jewish and gentile problems, showing God as God of all (Rom. 9:1-11:36), of which he writes:

Why have so many Jewish people rejected Jesus and his good news of the kingdom of God?

Like someone who has lost something precious, he retraces his steps to see if he has missed something. Maybe Jews never heard the good news? No, that’s not it. Maybe they heard, but didn’t understand? No, that can’t be it either. So he comes to the possible conclusion that God is responsible. God has hardened their hearts to achieve some greater good. Paul is finally comfortable with this conclusion, right? No, not completely! (pp. 153)

3. Douglas Campbell, The Deliverance of God: An Apocalyptic Rereading of Justification in Paul. Nothing will ever be quite same in Pauline scholarship for those who take seriously Campbell’s dismantling of justification, and his arguing that Paul’s language of justification was a secondary way of speaking for Paul when in debate with a version of Christianity that is conditional in its grace. And because we misread Romans 1-4, according to Campbell, Protestantism has often lapsed into the conditional grace that Paul is trying to undo. Paul’s primary language of unconditional grace is a language of deliverance elaborated in Romans 5-8. This is now the definitive book, in my opinion, that must be contended with regarding any crucial interpretations of Romans. See my “Customer Review” on the page. The most controversial thesis involves his contention that Paul used the Roman rhetorical convention of Diatribe, meaning that it contains Paul voicing his opponent’s views within the text of Romans which we thus need to sort from Paul’s own views. In short, for twenty centuries after Paul delivered this letter to the Roman church, training the carrier to read it properly in two voices, subsequent generations have read two opposing views in the text all as Paul’s view only. I find this thesis compelling and vitally important; here is my own explanation and plotting of the opposing views in a translation of Romans 1:1-4:3.

4. N. T. Wright is another important resource to consult for Romans. See, first of all, his commentaries: The New Interpreter’s Bible, vol. 10; and his Paul for Everyone: Romans, Part 1 (Romans 1-8) and Part 2 (Romans 9-16). See also The Resurrection of the Son of God, ch. 5, Resurrection in Paul (Outside the Corinthian Correspondence),” sec. 7 on Romans; and Justification: God’s Plan & Paul’s Vision. His ‘big book’ on Paul in his Fortress Press series “Christian Origins and the Question of God,” was published in 2013, Paul and the Faithfulness of God; the most sustained section on Romans 5-8 are pages 1007-1026. Wright’s more recent book on theology of the cross, The Day the Revolution Began, devotes more space to Romans than any other book of the New Testament, chapters 12-13; see also my review of this book, “The Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector, N.T. Wright’s Latest Book, and the Idolatry of Anti-Idolatry.”

Reflections and Questions

1. See the resources and reflections last week (Proper 13A) regarding Romans 9-11 as a whole.

2. In last week’s reflections I shared the insights that have come to me since the 2002 COV&R conference around Sandor Goodhart‘s notion of the “idolatry of anti-idolatry.” In 1999 I offered the following reflections on Romans 9-11, perhaps a pre-cursor to where I’m at since 2002:

Does Girard’s anthropology shed at least a little light on this mystery of being God’s chosen, even chosen for the necessary and a paradoxical role of rejecting the Messiah, God’s chosen among the chosen? The SIN that needed to be revealed and forgiven in the cross was our founding of human culture in rejection or expulsion of the minority. It was necessary that Jesus be rejected in order that this mechanism be revealed and forgiven. Someone had to play the role of rejecter. The fact that those who rejected Jesus were also part of the chosen people makes it more difficult for the first followers to make a hard and fast distinction between themselves and the rest of their fellow Jews. St. Paul is having this trouble precisely in these chapters of Romans. He is refusing to draw a sharp line between himself and his fellow Jews who have rejected Jesus. He will not turn around and scapegoat them, but holds steadfast to their chosenness. Too bad these chapters have largely been ignored by subsequent Gentile Christians who have relented and drawn that line between themselves and Jews, so often using it as an excuse for scapegoating them.

Matthew 14:22-33

Exegetical Notes

1. It is helpful to realize that there are two separate traditions of wind stories in the Gospels: (1) a ‘calming of the storm’ tradition where Jesus is in the boat with the disciples, sleeping, when a “windstorm” arises; he is awoken, challenges their ‘little faith,’ and calms the storm: Mark 4:35-41; Matt 8:23-27; and Luke 8:22-25. In all three instances the placement is after teaching and immediately before healing the Gerasene demoniac. (2) a ‘walking on water’ tradition in which Jesus is not in the boat; the disciples find themselves rowing into an “opposing wind” when they see Jesus walking on the water and are frightened by what they think is a ghost: Mark 6:45-52; Matt 14:22-33; and John 6:16-21. The placement in all three is immediately after the miraculous feeding. Matthew is the only one to extend the tradition with Peter trying to walk on the water. Notice that the fear is not of the wind but of Jesus, thinking he is a ghost. Summary overview: Matthew and Mark include both traditions; Luke has the calming of the sea but not the walking on water; John has only the walking on water.

2. I think another relevant passage is Matthew 16:1-4:

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Jesus they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.

It parallels or enhances this one in several respects: (1) It immediately follows the other miraculous feeding in 15:32-39. (2) It doesn’t involve a literal storm but uses recognizing a coming storm as a metaphor for reading the “signs of the times.” (3) The closing comment about the sign of Jonah involves being in a boat in a storm: Jonah is scapegoated by the sailors on his boat and thrown overboard, kept safe for three days in the belly of the fish. Jesus will be scapegoated on the cross and be kept safe for three days in the tomb. I think this enhances my seeing today’s story as a parable that previews Peter’s experience in the passion story, where he wants to be like Jesus riding the waves of sacred violence but sinks down into denial when challenged at the charcoal fire. Doesn’t almost everything in the Gospel in some way presage what happens at the end?

3. V. 25, “early in the morning” in the NRSV is actually more specific in the original (and other translations that don’t paraphrase it), “the fourth watch of the night.” This was the last watch of the night, around 3:00-6:00 am. It was also believed to be prime time for demons and other agents of Satan to be out doing their dirty work.

1. Andrew Marr, Moving and Resting in God’s Desire, p. 171. In Chapter 7 on “The Five Kinds of Prayer,” this episode helps to illustrate a dimension of penitential prayer:

The mimetic dimension of our sinfulness also impresses upon us the necessity of turning to God, the One who is outside the system of the mimetic contagion that constitutes the principalities and powers. It is God as the Other who gives us an alternative to the principalities and powers. This is what we find at the heart of the penitential psalm par excellence. When the Psalmist prays: “Create in me a clean heart and put a right spirit within me,” (Ps. 51:10-11) the Psalmist is praying for God to infuse God’s desire into the penitent. Then, still noticing double-mindedness, the Psalmist goes on to pray that God sustain a “willing spirit.” The story of Peter walking on water — or trying to — also illustrates this aiming. (Mt. 14:28-33) The wind and the choppy waves represent our being overwhelmed by the mimetic movements that tend toward rage and persecution. When Peter looked at the waves instead of at Jesus, he started to sink. By himself, he would have sunk and drowned. By looking again at Jesus, Peter was pulled into the boat and the sea grew calm.

2. James Alison, offers a video homily for Proper 14A (Ordinary 19); in 2020 Alison began a new website during the pandemic, “Praying Eucharistically,” which included weekly homilies. Last week we saw the first sign: Jesus reenacting Moses feeding people in the desert. This week we have the sign of leading people through threatening water. It could be Moses leading people through the Red Sea. But it might also be Joshua leading people through the Jordan River into the Promised Land in Joshua 1-4. This reading especially sets up the following stories as acting out Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, since the following stories have Jesus ministering in Gentile territory. Next week’s encounter with the ‘Canaanite’ woman is especially telling.

3. Robert Hamerton-Kelly, sermon from August 11, 2002 (Woodside Village Church), and sermon from August 10, 2008 (Society of St. John at St. Mark’s Chapel, Palo Alto).

4. Sermons/blogs from a Girardian perspective by members and friends of Theology & Peace: Tom Truby, a sermon in 2011, titled “The Raging Storm of Our Own Making.”

5. Andrew Marr, Abbot of St. Gregory’s Abbey (Three Rivers, MI) is a long-time reader and writer on Mimetic Theory and in his blog, “Imaginary Visions of True Peace,” offered these reflections on this passage in 2017, “On Hearing God’s Silence in the Storm.”

Reflections and Questions

1. Psalm 69 is a classic psalm of the scapegoat crying out for help. Its main image is that of sinking down into the water. Here are the first several verses:

Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; many are those who would destroy me, my enemies who accuse me falsely. What I did not steal must I now restore?

Is this an image that lends meaning to Peter’s sinking down in the water? And of Christ’s rising above it until his appointed time?

2. Another way of conceiving sinking down into the water is to become caught up in the swirling of scandal around the scapegoat, to get caught up in the flood of violence. Peter and all the disciples will get caught up in this flood that kills Jesus. Jesus will die because of the flood, but he alone is not swept up in it. This is the image of Noah and the great flood. All people on earth get swept up in a flood of violence except Noah and his family. Jesus dies during a flood of such violence; but, in another sense, he his kept free of its ultimate effects by not returning violence for violence. Instead, held in the ark of the tomb, he rises on the third day as forgiveness, not vengeance. In this sense, he has willingly succumbed to the violence but not gotten swept up in it as a perpetrator of it.

This is my reading since 2001 of the Noah story in preaching on the passage from Matthew 24:

For as in the days of Noah…, they knew nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be left. (Matt. 24:37a, 39-41)

See the reflections from Advent 1A and the sermonLeft Behind: Surviving the Floods of Violence.” Jesus is like Noah in being left behind when everyone else is swept up and sinks down in the flood of violence. Could this image also apply here? Peter will try not to get swept up in that tide of violence when it swarms around Jesus, but he will fail around the courtyard fire when accusations come his way.

3. The most common mythological depiction of the chaos is a turbulent sea (cf., Gen. 1:1): There existed a chaos of waters in the beginning, and the gods somehow order it into creation.

Girard’s anthropology helps us to see that the common mythological image of turbulent waters is a cover-up for the human chaos of mimetic rivalry that exists before the order of human culture created through scapegoating violence. It is a chaos that comes about due to the swirl of desires created by keeping our eyes fixed upon one another.

Jesus comes walking right over that swirl of desires with the loving desire from God that can help us rise above the effects of that chaos. Peter can sustain that same protection in the midst of chaos only for the few moments that he keeps his eyes trained on Jesus. As soon as he looks back to the swirling waters and takes notice, he begins to sink again.

What are the swirling waters of desires that seek to pull us under in our day? Can keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus still help us to walk on those waters?

4. A key verse for me is verse 31: “Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?'” How different is it that Jesus “immediately” reaches out to save Peter, and then chides him about his faith, as opposed to the other way around, chiding him about his faith and then finally reaching out — reluctantly? — to save him? The loving forgiveness which reaches out to save precedes the realistic assessment of what’s wrong.

5. In 2002 this text sparked for me a series of sermons on faith, beginning with “Faith Is Rising above the Stormy Seas of Violence.” I take the more important test of faith as that which faces the disciples at the arrest of Jesus. There, they will face a rising storm of violence against Jesus. Will Peter be able to rise above that? He fails even more miserably in denying Jesus three times. Not until Jesus exemplifies this faith — on the cross and in the forgiveness of Easter morning — of not giving in to the violence will such a faith be established on earth as a permanent fixture. It is post-Easter that disciples have a real chance to catch the Spirit of that faith.

6. The series on faith in 2002 continued the following week with “Faith Is Not Being Scandalized,” when talking about Jesus’ encounter with the Canaanite woman and the Joseph saga. In 1996 I had merged the Peter on the lake story with the Joseph saga in talking about faith as keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus through the stormy violence of the cross to the new life at Easter — a sermon entitled “Keeping Your Eyes on the Lord.”

I let the water out of your dingy. The bungies were still there but stretched. there was a pocket in the dingy cover so they stretched, filling the cover with lots of water. I untied the aft end of the cover so it will drain into the dingy.(plug is out). May need a tighter bungie or make a small (quarter inch) hole in the cover so if it fills, it will drain.
We had the leopard Spot On that was a few slips down from you and on the other side. Have a power cat now in the same place.

8 ways to attend college for free

1. Grants and scholarships
Financial aid — the traditional way of eliminating college costs — is still available. To increase the odds of landing grants and scholarships, Doug Hewitt, co-author of “Free College Resource Book,” advises students to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and then focus on local prizes.

“There are more scholarships you’ll qualify for in your home state than nationally,” says Hewitt. “Look at local organizations and talk to your high school (guidance) counselor.”

And remember to start your search early. You won’t be the only person wondering how to go to college for free and scholarships can be limited to a first come, first served basis. You should also keep in mind that you don’t need to wait for your senior year to start hunting for scholarships. There are grants and awards available at all high school grade levels.

2. Give service to your country
The U.S. Coast Guard, Air Force, Military (West Point), Merchant Marine and Naval academies offer free college opportunities to students who serve after college, but cash is also available through ROTC programs closer to home.

Service requirements for ROTC programs vary, but all require students to complete military training on campus and commit to up to 12 years, depending on the branch of service. Students leave with training, a guaranteed job and opportunities for more free education.

AmeriCorps, a national service organization that offers education awards in exchange for community work, provides an award of up to $5,730 for each full year of service. Maximum years of service vary among AmeriCorps programs. Members also receive a living stipend while serving in the program.

3. Work for the school
Schools charge students tuition, but their employees often can get a free education. “This is a great option, especially for older students with job experience,” says Reyna Gobel, author of “CliffsNotes Graduation Debt.” “If you’re 18, you might not qualify for a job that provides (tuition) benefits.”

Schools typically provide benefits for full-time workers and sometimes require a certain level of experience, Gobel says. Future students can find out about their school’s policy by calling the admissions office.

4. Waive your costs
Some students can get a free pass based on academic performance or other factors.

The North American Council on Adoptable Children in St. Paul, Minnesota, reports that Connecticut, Kentucky, Virginia, Maine, Massachusetts, Texas, Florida and Maryland offer waivers at certain public schools for adopted and foster care children.

Other schools offer waivers for Native American students, senior citizens and dislocated workers. To find out what your school offers, call the financial aid office.

5. Become an apprentice
An apprenticeship is another solid option when you’re determining how to get free tuition. They can also open you up to job opportunities post-college.

Overall, your average apprenticeship program will take 1-6 years. You will probably be required to put in that time along with at least 2,000 hours of field work annually. The good news is that there are apprenticeships in more than 1,000 occupations, which can give you more options.

In exchange, the sponsoring employer pays for college or technical training and provides a salary. A list of available programs is available at the ApprenticeshipUSA website.

6. Have your employer pick up the costs
Another way you might receive a free college education is through your employer. Often given in the form of an employee reimbursement, there are plenty of employers that can help curb the cost of higher education.

7. Be in demand
Another great way to find out how to go to college for free is to determine if your field of study is “high-needs.” Will your studies result in a career that’s high in demand? Ask yourself this before you even enroll if you’re trying to cut the cost of college.

Generally, schools will offer incentives to anyone focusing their studies on math, science, nursing, teaching, and social work. There are also additional opportunities available through organizations like Teach for America, the Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program and the National Institutes of Health.

The nursing program at the University of Portland in Oregon has offered scholarships covering approximately 80% of the final 2 years of undergraduate study, if students sign a 3-year employment contract with the local health system, Fabriquer says. “There are similar programs in (high-needs) fields across the country,” he adds.

8. Choose a school that pays you
Last on our list of ways on how to get free tuition, and probably the riskiest. There are, indeed, schools that will pay you to focus your studies in a single subject (which they dictate). Schools such as the Webb Institute and the Curtis Institute of Music offer a select range of academic programs and pick up the tuition cost for every student. Just think long and hard about your decision before you commit to this course.

Flight Risk

by: The Heisenberg
- I found some great new color that expands on a popular piece published here over the weekend.

- This is a followup to my post on the newfound allure of USD "cash" and the effect that has on multi-asset managers' appetite for risk.

- This is especially relevant going into a week that looks set to feature the most dramatic escalation yet in the trade war between Washington and Beijing.

- At a higher level, though, it's important to understand how the rise of "cash" influences the decision calculus for stewards of capital.

With inflows drying up and possibly continuing to do so as the rates cycle between US and Europe pushes money out of the latter, liquidity will likely become more challenging.
That's from a BofAML note dated September 12 and it alludes to the same dynamic I described over the weekend in a post for this platform called "I Drink Your Milkshake".
When BofAML asked European credit investors about the outlook for liquidity, the responses betrayed more than a little consternation. In fact, "market liquidity evaporates" was the number one concern for nearly a fourth of respondents, the highest percentage in more than three years.
In European credit, the buy-side is concerned about three things: 1) the idea that between the ECB winding down asset purchases and the sell-side being reluctant to lend its balance sheet thanks to the post-crisis regulatory regime, they'll be the only bid in the market for € IG and € HY, 2) deteriorating liquidity metrics (think low turnover and an inability to transact in size), and 3) the idea that higher rates on U.S. fixed income (and especially short-dated USD fixed income) will sap demand for lower-yielding and inherently riskier European debt.

There's a lengthy and important discussion to be had around points 1 and 2 (more on that here), but in the interest of sticking with the theme from my weekend "milkshake" post, I wanted to focus again on point 3.
For those who missed it, here is the key chart which shows yields on short-dated USD fixed income sitting at their highest levels since the crisis:
Basically, that's "cash", as it were.
The allure of USD cash yielding the most since the crisis in an environment where risks are multiplying is obviously high. You'll also note from the chart that you're getting more yield there than you are from the S&P (blue line).
The cloudier the outlook gets in terms of trade frictions, geopolitical risks and domestic political tensions ahead of the midterms, the more attractive that's going to look and the higher the potential for a "flight to safety" to manifest itself in demand for USD cash. This is something I talked about at length earlier this year in a post called "Ray Dalio And The 'Pretty Stupid Cash Holders'". In that post, I cited another BofAML note in which the bank suggested that cash could be a more desirable safe haven asset than 10Y Treasurys in risk-off episodes. Recall this excerpt from a note out earlier this year:

The typical haven characteristic of Treasury debt is being hindered by the appealing rates of return on cash in the US. Historically during periods of market turbulence, money would flow from risky assets (such as stocks) into US Treasury bonds. But with $ Libor at 2.36%, support for Treasury debt is diminishing (consider that 5yr Treasury yields are 2.84%). In other words, the rise of “cash” as an asset class is altering the traditional allocation decisions of multi-asset investors in times of market stress.
Chart 5 highlights this point. We show the rolling 1yr correlation between total returns on 10yr Treasury bonds and the total returns on stocks (daily returns). We overlay this with the evolution of 3m $LIBOR.
In other words, the rise of "cash" poses a "flight risk" (if you will), not just for emerging market assets (EEM) that are under siege from the surging dollar (UUP), and not just for European credit which looks less attractive as the price insensitive ECB bid wanes, but even for longer-dated US Treasurys (TLT), which could lose some of their appeal in risk-off environments if multi-asset investors decide they'd rather just hold USD cash equivalents.
The headlines on the trade front are bad to start the week, and unequivocally so. Over the weekend, multiple outlets confirmed Bloomberg's Friday reporting that cited four sources as saying President Trump will move ahead with tariffs on another $200 billion in Chinese goods this week. According to the Wall Street Journal (out on Saturday), Beijing may decline Steve Mnuchin's offer to hold new trade talks in light of the latest expected escalation. On Monday, an editorial in the state-controlled Global Times said Beijing is "looking forward to a beautiful counter-attack and will keep increasing the pain felt by the U.S." Hours later, Trump tweeted that countries that "will not make fair deals will be 'Tariffed!'"
Obviously, none of that bodes particularly well for risk sentiment this week and you should also note that two Fridays ago, the President suggested that should China move ahead with the promised retaliation involving differentiated duties on $60 billion in U.S. goods, the USTR is prepared to slap levies on yet another $267 billion in Chinese products, taking the total amount of goods taxed to $500 billion or, more simply, the entirety of Chinese exports to the U.S.
I don't want to suggest that some kind of acute risk-off episode is imminent for U.S. stocks (SPY).
After all, U.S. equities have proven resilient this year in the face of trade tensions, even though international equities have most assuredly not (Chinese stocks hit a four-year low on Monday, for instance).
Rather, my point is that hopes of a deescalation on the trade front look to have been definitively dashed and on balance, that's bad for risk appetite. As risk appetite wanes, the appeal of higher rates on USD cash only grows. And wouldn't you know it, Goldman is out with a brand new piece that touches on this subject.
One of the arguments against my contention that USD cash is "attractive" is that real rates are still negative. My knee-jerk reaction to that argument is this: Since when have investors in the post-crisis world cared about negative rates on safe-haven assets? But Goldman has a more nuanced take. Consider the following three visuals from their note:
See the "problem" there? For one thing, real rates aren't going to be negative for long for USD cash equivalents and if Goldman's projections are correct, not only will they be comfortably positive going forward, they will be markedly higher than median real rates in G10 and EM.
Here's Goldman (and this is truncated):
Exhibit 2 shows that this divergence in real rates has been brewing for some time, but until recently, its impact on risk assets was offset by mitigating factors. Exhibit 2 also shows just how much this divergence in rates has grown over the past few years, and how much farther we expect it to go. For much of the early post-crisis era, US policy rates (in real terms) were among the lowest in the world. It was only in 2017 that US real rates crossed the DM median. But rise they have, having already risen to the 90th percentile in DM. And according to our forecasts, the divergence in real rates will rise substantially over the next year and a half, with US rates rising relative to both DM and EM.
That is noteworthy to say the least. Don't let it be lost on you that if the U.S. economy continues to outperform global counterparts thereby forcing the Fed to remain hawkish and if the trade tensions finally do manifest themselves in higher consumer prices in the U.S. thus forcing the Fed to lean against an inflation overshoot, the gap shown in those visuals is likely to get larger.
Here's Goldman one more time:
The real rate of return available on “safe” US assets is rising, both in absolute terms and relative to non-US markets. As the rate of return on “cash” rises, the appeal of risky assets falls. The low level of real rates over most of the post-crisis period set a very low bar for risky assets. That bar is now rising, and as long as the US economy continues firing on all cylinders, the bar will continue to rise.
Again, you should think about this holistically. That is, if you want to stay ahead of the game from a big picture perspective, you need to think about the factors that influence the decision calculus of multi-asset managers and other stewards of capital.
If all you care about is where Apple (just to use a random, single-stock example) is going to trade six months from now, well then, obviously you care more about the rollout of new iPhones than you do anything mentioned above. If your investment horizon is "forever", well again, you probably don't care a whole lot about any of this other than maybe reconsidering whether it might make sense to increase your allocation to cash equivalents.
I assume most readers here fall somewhere in between on a scale where one end is labeled "I only care about my Apple shares" and the other end is labeled "my investment horizon is literally 'forever', so the only thing I care about is tweaking my allocation once every 15 years".
If you, like me, fall somewhere in the middle on that hypothetical continuum, then everything said above is pretty important from the perspective of understanding the rationale behind money potentially fleeing to a newly-attractive asset class (USD cash) that just happens to be the safest of all possible alternatives in an environment where the risks are multiplying.

this is serious, jawn.

Survived my first week at the new job.

It’s been a rough transition - he’s not the kind of person I learn well from, but it seems like we’re figuring out how to communicate with each other.

Eh. It’s a job.

It’ll do while I’m killing time and continuing to work on the Get My Ass To London While NOT Working For A Large Souless International Company Plan. (GMATLWNWFALSIC for short…)

In other news, Sherlock Series 3 picks up filming the 3rd episode at the end of this month. I believe it’s been confirmed that the US will get Sherlock on PBS in 2014, but there’s no UK air date yet.

I’m really curious because the three hints we were given for this season were rat, wedding, bow and the episode titles are “The Empty Hearse”, “The Sign of Three”, and “His Last Vow.”

We know for a fact that “TEH” (*snicker*) is about Sherlock’s return to John and that it’s not going to go well. They showed some of “Three” at Comic-Con so we know it has to do with Mary Morstan and John’s wedding. We know that Mary leaves John at some point in ACD canon - but I can’t remember how - so hopefully she leaves in “Vow”. Like John’s last wedding vow because he never gets married again. (Although that’s not true in ACD canon.)

I don’t know… “Vow” is written by Moffat, so it’s going to be… Moffaty. (Buy stock in Kleenex now. The Sherlockians are going to lose their minds. Guaranteed.)

Benedict mentioned several months ago that they signed on for series 4, but that was quickly squashed by the powers that be. Moftiss et al have announced that series 4 has been commissioned, but of course there’s no way to give us an estimated air date…

Other than that, I’m still getting favorites/kudos on my Johnlock fic. Still working on the Cabin Pressure fic from hell. Still obsessing about writing my next Johnlock fic.

I need to buy suits again. I don’t like suits.

I definitely need to hose out and air dry my ruck - it smells lovely after the Challenge. (I may have forgotten to empty the bag after we got home… WHOOPS.)

Cybermummy 11

Cybermummy 11

I am a fraud.

I went to Cybermummy 11 under the illusion of being a  ‘mummy blogger’.  I had a little name badge with my blog address and Twitter name neatly printed on it.  I was treated exactly the same as the other 400+ mummy bloggers – with food and drinks laid on, pamper rooms to indulge in and bags full of free stuff to take home to my family.

In the main conference room, there wasn’t a table plan organised by site stats in ascending order, so nobody stopped me from taking a seat close to the front, just a few feet away from Sarah Brown while she was speaking.

I was free to pick and choose from any of the workshops on offer, no invitation required, no pre-booking system in place.   I mingled freely alongside rockstar bloggers with followers in the tens (possibly hundreds!) of thousands.  A bit like Chico rubbing shoulders with Mick Jagger and talking shop.

I tossed my business card willy-nilly into glass bowls to win more free stuff.  I waltzed around Cybermummy Central like a pro.  Except, I am not.

I have only been blogging for 3-months.  I do not even have an iphone.  While the Crowdsourced Keynote speakers read aloud their greatest and most inspirational posts, I thought back to my last post… about burning my tongue.

While people tweeted away to each other on their ipads, I checked my trusty old mobile phone for text messages from the Greek God(zilla).

Cybermummy 11 highlighted to me just how much I still have to learn about this world, and I admit I felt completely overwhelmed at times, but it also showed me just how far it’s possible to go.

So, I’ll be back next year but with a few more posts behind me, hopefully a fair few more cybermummy friends and definitely an ipad.

    I was there. I have been blogging for 6 years and I felt more out of place than the new people I think. Mainly because I realised that I am a hobby blogger. I just like to empty my brain onto the page, I am not in it to make money or carve my niche or anything else! I did have a nice time and I do own an ipad though!

      Hi Kelly, it seems so many of us felt the same way. I am definitely a hobby blogger too so going to CM was good thing as it made me to realise that. I couldn’t write anything much this week with the carve your niche advice – have a clearer head again now though and am back to my happy blogger place 🙂
      Hopefully by CM12, I’ll have an ipad too x

    Tongue burning is an important issue in parent blogging 🙂

    At the end of the day people take it all far far too seriously. And that’s coming from one of the few dads there 🙂

I’ve Fallen Out With The Self-Checkout Machine

I’ve Fallen Out With The Self-Checkout Machine

I find one of the most annoying things about having a full-time job is having to do our weekly shop in the evenings, or on the weekend.

The last thing I want to do on a Friday night, after a long week in the office, is head to the supermarket and queue 5-deep for a punnet of blueberries.

Sometimes we are organised enough to do our food shop online, but there is something much more pleasurable about walking the aisles and seeing what takes your fancy.

Sometimes, even taking a little something of what you fancy from the shelves and snacking on it on the way round… oh keep your socks on, I still hand the empty packaging to the cashier at the end so she can ring it up.

Anyway, there I was one Friday night expertly steering my trolley between the aisles to stock up on essentials for the weekend.

It was not a big shop, just a quick topping up of the stock we always seem to run low on… those things being fruit, vegetables, wine and chocolate.

I should have been in and out in a jiffy, but it being a Friday night and all,  there were trolleys upon trolleys queueing up to be paid for.

The self-service lane looked a bit clearer so, as I only had a few items, I raced over to an empty checkout and started scanning.

‘Please wait for approval’ the machine started bleating out at me ‘Please wait for approval’

Oh great.  Now I had to wait for someone to come over and authorise that I was of legal age to purchase alcohol.

A young lad soon appeared and keyed a special code into the machine, which allowed me to continue scanning my goods without any further interruption.

‘Don’t you want to check my ID?’ I quipped.

‘Hahaha, no it’s ok Madam’

I wiped the last few bar codes over the glass and popped them into my bag.

‘Please wait for approval’ the machine instructed again ‘Please wait for approval’

What now?!

The young lad returned to my checkout.

He looked in my bags for what could possibly be causing the hold up.

There nestled between 8 bottles of wine, a bag of carrots and a family sized bar of Dairy Milk, was a half-eaten ham sandwich and an empty packet of crisps that I had snacked on during the walk round.

He held up the offending items for all to see.

‘There is a problem with your weight, madam’

He gestured to the empty packaging I had scanned and bagged, keyed another code into the machine and was off again.

Old AND fat…

We are no longer speaking.

    I hate those machines, every time I only have a few items I always use them but something always goes wrong! Don’t know why they bother having them, they don’t save any time!

      January 24, 2013 / 6:59 PM

      I do not like them either. Is never simple, always setting off the alert somehow and you are right, does take just as long it not twice as!

    Very funny post. I love self service checkouts. I worked part time as a checkout operator whilst at school and quite frankly, nobody is ever good enough, Seems fitting I can scan my own groceries and no unnecessary chit chat either (except the muttering of myself).

Recent Adventures

Hello world,

I have been quite busy and the human haz too that's why there hasnt been any recent posts.

To begin, a couple weeks back San Diego had a scary power outage. The power waz out fur about 8 hours where I live. The humon kept me occupied with a bully stick so I was happy and had no idea that the whole city had lost power!

My kitchen during the power romantic!
Next, my humon made me special treats (pumpkin and peanut butter) then I shared them with my neighbors pals and my other fellow Shiba, Toyko!!
Then on September 11th, on my way into a group meeting (group mascot is my role), I stopped to pay my respect at a 9/11 memorial at University of San Diego. The flags represent each country affected and small tiles on the ground contain the names of each victim and their hometown/country. It is a very special place. I would recommend this memorial to anyone.

9/11 Memorial at USD

Finally, I was able to meet the long awaited Tokyo, a fellow Shiba, who is quite famous on the Shiba media networks. Here are some pictures of me playing with her and some other furry friends!

Shiba, Hachi, Tokyo

Another Shiba and Hachi, Tokyo looking at the camera

Shiba Power!

Tokyo and I
The beautiful Tokyo
She's so purrrrty!
Mini Shiba!
 Ooooo that waz fun!!

Since then I've been keeping it easy and real. Taking long walks, napping, catching butterflies and sun tanning fills most of my time.

Today though I went to the dog park again and this time, because of my size, I was able to play in the small dog (0-25 lb) and big dog (25+ lb) area. It was very exciting and then when we were leaving we saw the white Shiba shown above, but by then we had already left :(. Once home the humon stripped me of my shedding fur and then bathed me. I miss the fur and am not happy about the bath. I'm like a cat, even wet grass turns me off but...I am about to have another "busy" week and then this weekend I have a little surprise up my sleeves....more to come soon!

Magical Monday - Let's use flowers

This week over at the Paper Cupcakes challenge blog Belinda Lewis brings us our challenge of "let's use flowers". I went the image Ladybug on Hill & the ticket is from the Variety Tickets from Paper Cupcakes. I colored the image with my Bic Mark-its and then used chalk for the soft background. All the paper were part of my scraps. I punched all my little flowers too. This was a pretty quick and easy card and I think it turned out pretty cute as well.

Well, I worked some last week and it was also Spring break for the children so we were a bit busy. This week is another busy week with our 8th grade dinner coming up which I am in charge of as well. Morgan got the lead roll as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz for the middle school play that will be in May. She is nervous that she won't learn all her 400 and some lines in a month, but I know she will do a wonderful job and I am quite proud of her.

Well, as always I am always tired by this time of day which is normally past my bedtime for a Sunday evening, so I am closing this out and heading for bed.

Have a great week and I hope if you stop by you will leave me a note to let me know you visited!

10 Tips to Lose Weight

10 Tips to Lose Weight

Updated: Oct 28, 2020

Before jumping into a diet, you must determine your ideal weight. This will be your guide on your weight loss journey. "Fast" weight loss doesn't imply that you drop 50 pounds overnight; a few pounds can take months to shed and for obese individuals, it can take years to lose the desired amount of weight. How fast you lose weight will depend on how focused you are on your diet.

Here are some simple steps to help you lose weight:

1.Before dieting, you must know how many calories you normally need in a day. If you are sedentary, multiply your weight (in pounds) by fifteen. If you are moderately active, multiply your weight by seventeen; if you are active, multiply your weight by twenty. This will give you the average calorie intake you need per day.

2.Remember to eat your fruits and veggies! You need at least five servings of them per day â€“ doing this will put you on the right track to a healthy body, because fruits and vegetables have beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They also fill up your stomach fast so that you don't overeat and take into many calories.

3.Monitor the quantity of food you eat. Avoid high-calorie foods and eat in small portions. A helpful tip is to chew your food slowly because this makes digestion easy on your body and you will also be less likely to overeat.

4.Don't skip meals. When you want to lose weight it may be tempting to starve yourself â€“ but eating small amounts of food frequently can help you maintain a healthy, balanced calorie intake throughout the day. Also, your blood sugar level will be adversely affected if you don't eat often. You can even divide the standard allotment of three meals into five or six smaller meals.

5.Fresh fruits and vegetables are ideal â€“ packaged and processed foods have high sodium and fat content. You are more likely to lose weight if you eat naturally fresh foods.

6.Don't limit your food intake too much. Go ahead and indulge yourself; eat your favorite treat. It's okay to have that slice of birthday cake at the occasional party. Just make sure to eat in moderation and use those special desserts as rewards, instead of enemies, to your weight loss experience.

7.Don't always believe everything you read on a food label. "Fat free" does not necessarily mean low calories. The same wisdom goes for foods that boast "low sugar" or "low carbs." Glance over the nutrition label â€“ there you'll find the calorie count.

8.Try to limit the number of juices and sugary beverages you drink. Instead, drink eight glasses water a day â€“ this flushes out your body's toxins and waste.

9.If possible, keep a food journal. This will help you keep track of your calorie intake and will be a daily reminder of the types of foods you need.

10.Don't forget to exercise! Thirty to sixty minutes of physical activity a day will ensure your health and help you lose weight (and not to mention, firm up those muscles). Weight-bearing exercises are especially great ways to burn those pesky calories.

Karim Benzema scored the earliest goal in clásico history

That looks a significant point: there’s an associate aversion to sure mistakes as a result of they’re apparent to everyone or as a result of they defy one amongst the old conventions of the game. However, simply because everyone will determine them doesn’t essentially build them a lot of pricey than different less apparent errors. The current vogue for enjoying out from the rear began at Barcelona beneath ginger Guardiola. It did sometimes get his facet into issue. In Dec 2011, for example, Karim Benzema scored the earliest goal in clásico history once Víctor Valdés compete a pass straight to Ángel Di María. however Valdés was undaunted. The next time the ball came to him, he rolled it sedately to Gerard Piqué regarding 5 yards from the goal line. Barça had religion in their methodology, accepted there would be blips and went on to win 3-1.

For those sides ok to try to to it, passing out from the rear offers management. They need the ball, and with it, they will dictate the tempo. Draw associate opponent into attempting to win it back recklessly, and immediately they’re stretched or out of form, a player or two taken out of the sport removed from their goal. And then for an extended time, opponents attended sit off. What is going on recently is that groups while not the ball are bold. And really, why wouldn’t they be? Clubs pay hours researching the patterns of opponents – those patterns area unit abundant easier to trace once you apprehend the beginning point: the goalkeeper.With a tiny low few notable exceptions, that players area unit probably to be less adept on the ball, less capable of spinning far from a rival or scraping an artless pass beneath pressure: central defenders and goalkeepers, or midfielders? trend daftar judi bola terbaik online

In that sense, it feels slightly strange that it’s solely recently that groups have begun targeting that space with their press. it’s going to be that the modification within the law meaning a goal-kick now not has got to leave the penalty space before another player bites it’s inspired sides; antecedently a defender anticipating pressure might merely have stepped within the realm because the pass came towards him and then forced the goal-kick to be retaken. The approach isn’t entirely new. At the Etihad in Dec 2017, as an example, Tottenham tried to the dam in Manchester town by pushing au courant their full-backs at goal-kicks, solely to seek out Ederson bypassing their press with a series of accurate long passes. Town won 4-1. It may be that groups begin to try to play over the press: Leicester has started attempting to use Jamie Vardy’s pace to urge on too long clearances from Kasper Schmeichel. Old-school target men can in time maybe come into fashion for his or her ability to supply associate outlet.
For now, though, groups like Arsenal have a perplexity. They need to adopt a technique within which risk is inherent, however area unit the errors associate inevitable a part of the method or area unit they symptomatic a problematic trend?

As a business, while you try to improve and expand your business, guests may give positive and negative reviews. A negative review means that the guest was not happy about some aspect of your business be it the services you offer, the behavior of your staff, the ambiance, or any other detail in your facility. Such guests would not recommend your business to family and friends.

Negative feedback actually gives insights into the reasons behind why your business is not growing as expected. It presents a great opportunity for you in the sense that if you can fix the underlying reasons for negative feedback, you can actually begin to see positive results for your business.

For each month in the time frame you select, you can view the breakup of feedback by the number of invoices on which you got positive feedback (Yes), negative feedback (No), and the number of invoices were guests did not take a service, did not leave feedback, or did not want to leave feedback (NA).

For example, from the above screenshot, you can see that in month of Dec, you had the maximum number of guests saying that they will not recommend your business to their family and friends.

Mg-Pb (Magnesium-Lead) A.A. Nayeb-Hashemi and J.B. Clark The assessed Mg-Pb phase diagram is based on review of the work of [05Kur], [ 33Kur], [39Vos], [40Ray], [41Foo], [57Hor], [65Dob], [65Eld], [66Bea], and [ 71Gra]. The general characteristics of the Mg-Pb diagram as given in [Hansen] are well established and accepted. The high-density difference between Mg and Pb produces severe gravity segregation during solidification. Thermodynamic modeling of the Mg-Pb system was carried out by the present authors, and the excellent agreement between the calculated and assessed Mg2Pb liquidus strongly supports the existence of only one compound, Mg2Pb, in this system. In their report of a metastable phase in the Mg-Sn system, [70Abe] noted a metastable Mg-Pb phase with fcc, AuCu3 structure occurs in the composition range 16 to 23 at.% Pb. 05Kur: N.S.
