First Sunday of Lent – March 9, 2014

Jesus used simple images in his preaching. He spoke about things like sheep, shepherds, crops and farmers, but he didn’t intend to offer instruction about those topics. When Jesus told the parable about the wheat and the weeds, he was not intending to teach his disciples about farming. When he told the parable about the one sheep who wandered away from the ninety-nine, he was not intending to teach his disciples about animal husbandry. His parables were metaphoric comparisons intended to help people understand very nuanced truths about the Kingdom of God. The practice of using parables to teach about faithful religion did not begin with Jesus. Rather, it was a common practice in Hebrew religion, and remains so today.

Our first reading this Sunday is taken from the Book of Genesis. The first and second chapters of Genesis purport to be stories about the creation of the world. One of the many problems entailed in looking at these stories as literal truth or historical narrative is that they disagree with one another. If one affirms that the Bible is literally and historically accurate, one has to choose between the first and second chapter of Genesis. As they disagree with one another on significant facts, only one account can be accurate; the other must be inaccurate. However, making the judgement about which is true and which is false immediately falsifies the basic premise that the Bible is literally and historically accurate.

Fortunately, there is a much better way to interpret the Scriptures. These two chapters of Genesis were not intended by their authors and editors to be read literally. Just as in the preaching of Jesus, these two chapters are parables. They derive from two different traditions of spirituality in Hebrew religion, but they address the same topic, namely, how to practice Hebrew religion faithfully. The fact that they are parables in no way diminishes the truth they contain.

When Jesus told parables he always included keyword references in order to help people understand them; in doing so, he was imitating the Hebrew Scriptures which provided interpretative keywords to help readers. In today’s first reading the keywords that interpret the parable are “eat,” “tree” and “serpent.” When Jews, even today, read this story they hear the references to food, a tree and a serpent, and think immediately of the faithlessness of the Israelites during their sojourn in the desert.

“From Mount Hor they set out by way of the Red Sea, to bypass the land of Edom, but the people’s patience was worn out by the journey; so the people complained against God and Moses, ‘Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!’ So the Lord sent among the people seraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of the Israelites died. Then the people came to Moses and said, ‘We have sinned in complaining against the Lord and you. Pray to the Lord to take the serpents from us.’ So Moses prayed for the people, and the Lord said to Moses: Make a seraph and mount it on a pole, and everyone who has been bitten will look at it and recover. Accordingly Moses made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever the serpent bit someone, the person looked at the bronze serpent and recovered.” (Numbers 21:4-9)

Christians, too, should be very familiar with these references in the second chapter of Genesis. “And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3:14-15) The serpent was a visible reminder to the Israelites of their sin of faithlessness; it was God’s call for them to repent. The tree branch on which it was lifted up was God’s offer of forgiveness.

In the parable, Adam and Eve were given a simple and uncomplicated relationship with God. God gave Adam and Eve one commandment to fulfill, and full run of the garden of Eden as long as they were faithful to God’s command. Their faithlessness ended their primordial innocence and the intimate relationship they had with God. The Scripture offers a metaphorical description of the shame that results from broken relationships, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.” (Genesis 3:7)

A great deal is made today about guilt and shame. Catholic neo-conservatives value shame as a means to induce people to perform certain behaviors, such as frequent participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Catholic progressives, on the other hand, see the experiences of guilt and shame as too tied to manipulative behavior and an image of God as stern and judgmental. While guilt and shame are real experiences that have significance both psychologically and spiritually, they can also be viewed as metaphors, parables of a sort.

Shame arises from many sources. Sometimes shame is the result of having done something destructive, such as actual sin. Sometimes shame is the result of a completely subjective experience, such as embarrassment. We tend to shy away from shame because it is uncomfortable, but in doing so we deprive ourselves of the possible benefits of shame. One of those possible benefits results from seeing shame as a parable about human nature.

The estrangement that we feel when we offend someone is a reflection of the estrangement from self that all of us feel all of the time. The shame we feel when we sin is a reflection of the lamentable situation in which all people live all of the time. There is an incompleteness and a brokenness that lies at the heart of our human nature. We long for a simple and uncomplicated relationship with God, but we live in a perpetual state of estrangement from God simply because our lives are finite and unfinished.

There are countless strategies for “dealing with” shame. Some people confess their sins on a weekly basis. Some refuse to acknowledge culpability for their wrongdoing. Some medicate themselves in order not to feel their shame. I wonder if we would be better off living with shame rather than trying to diminish it. Perhaps we’d be much more comfortable with our humanity if we saw our shame as a parable about estrangement. Rather than a painful experience from which we wish to escape, perhaps shame is an invitation to look beyond the surface of life, to see that we are made for communion with the eternal. St. Augustine wrote, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and we are restless until we rest in you.”

Lent invites us to repent of our sins. Sometimes we feel shame for the wrong we’ve done, and sometimes we don’t. Guilt and shame are not completely reliable indications of sin, but they are always instructive parables about life. If you read your life’s story as a parable about God, what conclusions would you draw? If you interpret the parable accurately, you will find a question that only God can answer and a desire that only God can fulfill.

The Baptism of the Lord – January 11, 2015

I used to describe my vocation to priesthood by saying that I chose to be a priest. After my senior year in college I chose to apply to study for priesthood for the Diocese of St. Petersburg. During my Seminary training I chose to read text books, write term papers and participate in the spiritual formation program the Seminary offered. I still remember waking up very early on a Saturday morning to make the long drive to the Cathedral for the Ordination ceremony.

While it is very true that I chose to be a priest, I have come to realize it is also true that priesthood chose me. Having engaged in presbyteral ministry for almost thirty-one years, I see now that there are particular aspects of ministry that intersect with aspects of my personality. It is often said that God “calls” us to our life’s vocation. It is also true that a particular vocation “calls out” to the particularity of our personal identity. This truth is demonstrated in today’s Gospel reading.

It was something of a scandal to the first generations of Jesus’ followers that Jesus accepted baptism from John at the Jordan River. John the Baptist had a large number of followers, and the Baptist’s movement continued for quite a while after John’s death. There is speculation today that a small, insular religion called the Mandaeans are the extant descendents of John the Baptist’s reform movement. John’s reform movement was popular, and was perceived by some as rivaling Jesus’ reform movement.

Additionally, John’s baptism was an act of repentance. The fact that Jesus chose to perform an act of repentance seems to contradict his disciples’ claim about his divinity. The fact that it was well-known that Jesus was baptized by John made Jesus look like John’s disciple rather than the “mightier one” (Mark 1:7), whom John proclaimed.

The potentially embarrassing and confusing event of Jesus’ baptism by John is mentioned by the Gospels because it was a milestone in Jesus’ life. It was not until after this event that he began his ministry. The significance of John’s baptism in Jesus’ life is explained in today’s Gospel reading. “On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased’.” (Mark 1:10-11)

Jesus chose to accept a baptism of repentance from John, but in doing so it was revealed to him that repentance had chosen him. In his ministry Jesus called people to repentance, and taught that God would accept repentance from anyone – even outcasts and notorious sinners. At his baptism Jesus’ vocation was revealed publicly. He was identified as God’s chosen one. It was also revealed to him how he would fulfill that vocation: he would offer the world the possibility not only of repentance, but also of perfect forgiveness from God.

The revelation of Jesus’ life and vocation that occurred at his baptism gives us insight into our own lives. We live in a country, and at a time, in which we prize personal freedom. We value the ability to make free choice about our jobs, relationships, place of residence and so much more. At the same time, however, we fear the responsibility that is a necessary part of freedom.

All of us desire successful lives, fulfilling relationships and a satisfying spiritual life, but often we fear the limitations that these commitments might place on our future free choices. Such fears derive from a false understanding of freedom. Our freedom is no less particular and finite than we are (or than the universe is). Freedom is neither indeterminate nor infinite; freedom has a particular nature just as personality has a particular nature.

As a consequence, freedom is not gained by maintaining the greatest number of possible options. Freedom is gained in particularity, in making a choice, and fulfilling its attendant obligations. Freedom is both a matter of choosing and being chosen. The fears that people have today about committing to a job, a relationship, faith in God and the requirements of organized religion lead to decreased freedom because they lead to decreased particularity. Such fears are a denial of personal identity.

To be a husband, wife, parent, child, brother, sister, friend – or a disciple of Jesus – is not only a choice one makes (or accepts as random chance), it is a revelation of one’s personal identity. The particularity of our lives – the things that we choose and the things that choose us – are the very substance of who we are and the building blocks of true freedom.

Today, in this celebration of the Eucharist, we are called to absolute fidelity to God and one another. This isn’t a call to an idea, or a possibility; it is a call to a particular and finite Covenant relationship. The limitations we accept in faith define, and reveal, our true identity. Our personal freedom lies not only in the fact that we choose to respond to God, but also that we have been chosen by God. Just as Jesus was revealed as Savior at his baptism in the Jordan we are revealed as God’s chosen ones when we accept fully the particularity of our lives.

“I keep the LORD always before me…abounding joy in your presence.”

Deciding to spend a few minutes after Mass this morning in front of the tabernacle I thought I would open the Bible at random and read the chapter that my eyes first fell upon.  As is often reported, such an action can be surprisingly fruitful.  In my case, Psalm 16 was blessedly presented to me (parts of vv. 8 and 11, particularly applicable to my location at the time, are found above).

The psalmist is particularly hopeful here, knowing that his “destiny [is] secure” and that he “shall never be shaken” despite the concern for his safety he expresses in the opening words.  He relies on the Lord’s counsels and benefits from them.  He will not be abandoned because “You will show me the path to life.”

What a great encouragement to remember God’s presence in our lives!  This is put in no more stark relief than when in front of Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.  I have just found a great new prayer to say in adoration and great words to remember especially in times of worry.  I hope you have as well.

Stockport Council Highways and Transportation Stockport

From public realm projects creating welcoming spaces for Stockport residents and visitors alike, to new and enhanced highways including pedestrian and cycling routes, the town’s regeneration and growth is being supported by an improved transport infrastructure network.

The town is benefiting from unprecedented levels of investment in regeneration and growth projects totaling several hundreds of millions of pounds. To ensure these developments are successful, an integrated approach to transport and infrastructure has been critical, including the creation of new accesses and an enhanced public realm to these and other key locations.

Ani DiFranco - Do or Die / Contagious (Single)

Ani DiFranco - Do or Die / Contagious (Single)

In stock

Ani DiFranco's double single from forthcoming LP. Tracks include "Do or Die" and "Contagious."

About "Contagious":

With "Contagious," in part an homage to Michelle Obama, Ani says as hard as it is to play by the rules, act on principle, and maintain your honor when you feel like you’re the only one in the room doing so, that's exactly what it will take to get us out of these hard times.

About "Do or Die":

Unprecedented numbers of Americans have poured into the streets for months now, in the midst of a pandemic, to demand a reckoning with white supremacy once and for all. Black Lives Matter and it is time for Americans to stand up now. Heed the lesson of the  2016 election: this is not a shoe-in. In November, we will need to vote in such massive numbers as to overwhelm massive corruption. Not only must we vote out [#votethemout], we must vote in enough people to pass The Breathe Act, a visionary bill that divests our taxpayer dollars from brutal and discriminatory policing and invests in a new vision of public safety! We’ve got to vote in people all the way down the ballot who will enact meaningful policy change which rises to this historic moment and heeds the call of the American people for justice. Insistent, tenacious, against-all-odds voter participation this November will become the difference between life and death for many. Nothing will stem the tide of suffering from COVID-19, economic crisis, police brutality, mass incarceration, endemic poverty, entrenched white supremacy and misogyny, deportation and detainment, gun violence, fire, flood, disease, pollution, irradiation, exploitation, forced reproduction, gender and sexuality-based violence and oppression, dis-information, propaganda, corruption, and greed... short of a functioning democracy! Let’s harness our outrage and vote. We can do this, if we try, if we do this like it’s do or die.

i recorded this song in a semi-abandoned strip mall in durham, north carolina, with some very talented musicians from that area. we all came out of isolation for the session and i wore a mask except when i was in front of a microphone singing. i didn’t know any of the players before the session. the group was put together by brad cook and included his brother phil cook on keys, yan westerlund on drums, brevan hampden on percussion and matt douglas on flute. later, my man terence higgins overdubbed some more percussion.

This spares you valuable time by helping you to avoid ruining your schedule or missing something more important. During your free time, you could watch your downloaded show bit by bit as you prefer.

Ipam open source software

Ensure that the site you are utilizing is legitimate. There are sites out there that allow you to download illicitly replicated films free of charge. There are numerous legitimate websites that have programs to permit them to collect and pay certain amounts of royalties owed to the copyright proprietor.

Most of these good serial-download sites have set up on an enrollment plan where you pay for downloads periodically, monthly or annually. The good thing with these websites is that they offer you the best picture and sound quality, not like the shady websites that offer free movie downloads. When you download tv series, you can store and watch them in future even if for various reasons you will not have access to the internet.

On the other hand, it is a must to have internet access to be able to watch TV shows online. The other ad vantage of downloading over streaming movies is that in case your internet connectivity is low or moderate in terms of speed, you can leave the movie to download while you do other things. However with streaming, bad internet connectivity may leave you frustrated and make you waste a lot of time trying to re-establish connections.

On the other hand if you perform these functions while streaming a movie, it may stop playing and require you to start watching from the beginning again.

You could use tv series download sites or the numerous other sites on the internet such as iTunes. This way, the creators are able to come up with more exciting stuff for your utmost entertainment. Streaming sites usually take the official show release and reduce their quality to make the streams go faster.

Then, there is no option that allows you to screen shoot your favorite scenes. Again, if your stream is accidentally cut for whatever reason, you will have to start the stream again. Evidently, downloading TV series is much better than streaming online.

I particularly love downloading because of the excellent picture quality, the possibility of multi-tasking and the absence of such issues as poor internet connection.Download the movie An American Pickle p p p.

How these 5 companies are approaching flexible work in 2021

Belynda Cianci
Belynda Cianci

After months of navigating remote work, we know that many employees are interested in some level of working from the office. The pandemic has given the flexible work movement a much-needed boost, but also revealed the things we enjoy about the office: community, collaboration, even just a change of scenery.

As our way of work evolves, companies are tasked with striking the right balance between business needs, staff preference, and employee safety as we navigate a changing world and workplace.

Companies are approaching this in different ways. While some are marching into the future with an eye to remote-first teams, others are taking a more measured approach, offering flexible solutions based on the desires and needs of their employees. Many companies are seeing the shift as a way to enjoy the benefits of decentralization, such as an increased talent pool, higher productivity, and increased recruitment and retention.

Here’s how a few companies are moving forward in the New Year and what we’re planning for at Robin in 2021 and beyond.

Ready to get your flexible work strategy in place for 2021? Robin can help. See how today.

HQ: Mountain View, California

Offices: 40+ decentralized global offices

Employees: 1,400+

With hundreds of employees spread across the globe, SaaS search and security leader Elastic was already familiar with the benefits of a hybrid approach to work. The company manages over 40 global locations available on a flexible basis for employee use. In the early days of the pandemic, the teams went immediately and fully remote.

While the team’s hybrid approach made the sudden work-from-home switch easier, the team at Elastic soon realized that bringing people back to the office would be a huge project. The old process of grabbing a random desk on arrival would no longer work. They invested in distance planning software to help them understand their capacity concerns and space needs.

With help from Robin, Elastic has been able to deploy flexible desking across its 40+ offices, letting employees book hot or hoteled desks on the days they want to come in. The team has also instituted the contact tracing system so that possible exposures can be quickly identified and handled. These investments in workplace experience technology and health & safety systems have allowed them to welcome back employees while giving them confidence and peace of mind.

The company intends to continue its culture of flexible work as they head into 2021, with a new focus on data-driven space planning and safety to ensure people feel comfortable when they arrive.

HQ: Cambridge, Massachusetts

Offices: 11 global offices

Employees: 3,900+

While Marketing pillar HubSpot has long shown support for a remote workforce (the company reports that 10% of their workforce was remote pre-pandemic and self-identifies as “remote-ish”), COVID-19 has served as the impetus for the company to enhance and expand their hybrid policies and practices.

The company has announced widespread changes to the way it engages in the daily experience of work. The largest impact being: beginning in January 2021, new HubSpot employees will be given the opportunity to elect their workplace:

  1. Work-from-home, in which employees will spend the majority of their time working from a home office.
  2. Flex, in which employees will work on-site two or fewer days per week. These employees will have access to a “hoteled” desk for their time in the office.
  3. Office, in which employees will spend three+ days in the physical office with a dedicated desk on-site, and a laptop for their work-from-home days.

According to the company’s internal numbers, an additional 16% of its workforce has shown interest in a full-remote work environment, with more desiring a flex arrangement when the office reopens.

While these elections provide maximum flexibility for the employee, this approach also broadens horizons for the company; it’s recruitment and retention initiatives will take advantage of a larger, decentralized talent pool that responds favorably to this new flexibility. Notably, the company will also feature “location-agnostic benefits and perks,” meaning that whatever work-style or location employees choose, compensation and benefits will remain consistent.

HQ: San Francisco, California

Offices: 2 global offices

Employees: ~400

Reddit, like HubSpot, will be tailoring its workplace, hiring, and retention strategy to the evolving world of work. For roles that can be effective outside of the office (the company cites exceptions like IT and Facilities roles), Reddit will give its staff the option of electing where and how they work.

They’ll achieve this balance of employee support and safe workplaces through a socially distanced approach to work for those who prefer flexible or in-person attendance, and a supportive, remote-friendly approach for those who want it. The company will focus on creating virtual interactions that “build culture and foster trust, collaboration, and innovation” within its teams in an effort to recreate the best parts of office life. They also plan to create in-person events for these types of culture-building opportunities in the future when it’s deemed safe to get together again.

video call hybrid work in 2021

Echoing other tech leaders, Reddit will create standardization of its compensation package without adjustment for location, offering employees the opportunity to do their best work in a location that works best for them. This gives Reddit the opportunity to expand its workforce under the best possible conditions for recruitment with an eye to diversity & inclusivity.

HQ: San Francisco, California

Offices: 25 global offices

Employees: 4,600+

Like many of its Silicon Valley counterparts, Twitter made a swift and immediate move to remote work in the wake of the virus. With over 800,000 square feet of high-value office space in its San Francisco headquarters, the move to WFH was no small decision. However, Twitter has embraced this rapid change, with CEO Jack Dorsey announcing recently that employees would have the ability to “work from home forever” even after the public safety concerns of the pandemic subside.

work from home WFH set up flexible work in 2021

In May, the company began to lay out preliminary plans for any returning employees, reiterating that “opening offices will be our decision. When and if our employees come back, will be theirs.”

While the company had originally made a tentative announcement for a September return, the return to the office (for those that want it) looks to be more sometime in 2021 with numbers surging in the U.S. While a shift toward decentralization has been in the works since 2018, the sudden nature of the pandemic kicked those mid-term goals into immediate action.

Most recently, the trend away from in-person work has been evident in the company’s real-estate portfolio. Twitter is currently in the process of subletting 100,000 square feet of its headquarters to align with changing space needs for its in-person workforce.

HQ: Boston, Massachusetts

Global Offices: 1

Employees: 130

Here at Robin, creating the best workplace experience for our clients is central to our product and mission. We’re one of the first places organizations turn to when they need help solving the challenges of serving their flexible workforce.

So, when faced with the challenge of keeping our own employees safe on home turf, we drew from that experience to engineer a practical, comfortable return for our Robinauts.

Making that return possible required us to look at the data and understand how our space could serve our people effectively, even with a necessary in-person reduction in headcount. We didn’t rush the return to work, choosing instead to pilot our Robin Return program with a small group of employees who had a strong desire to return to the workplace (about 30 in all).

flexible work in the office in 2021

Once we had our test crew in place, we empowered them with hot-desking using the Robin app for check-ins. We created a safe, socially distanced desking plan, empowered the team to feel confident in the office through access to cleaning stations, increased signage, and a health and safety system including health checkpoints and contact tracing capabilities.

As champions of flexible work, we have empowered our employees to work how and where they choose in 2021 and beyond, so we can help our clients achieve the same.

return to office playbook template for 2021

If you’d like to plan your safe, smooth return to work in 2021, we’d love to help. Reach out to us for a live demo and see how your workforce can evolve with the new world of work in the New Year.

Gilby Clarke Clarifies If He Had A Say In GNR While Working With Axl Rose And Slash

Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist, Gilby Clarke unveiled what he had been through during playing for Guns N’ Roses as their rhythm guitarist. He also answered the question of Jeff Gaudiosi about whether he could express his ideas among Axl Rose And Slash in his interview for Misplaced Straws.

As you may know, during the Use Your Illusion Tour, Gilby Clarke replaced Izzy Stadlin as the rhythm guitarist of the band in 1991. He continued to play with Guns N’ Roses for three years until Axl Rose fired him from the band. In one of his previous interviews, Clarke stated that Slash came to him and said Axl didn’t want him in the band. Axl Rose was the one who made the calls in the band.

Clarke continued his solo career and formed his supergroup, Rock Star Supernova including members of Metallica and Mötley Crüe. He recently released his latest solo work ‘The Gospel Truth’ on April 23, 2021. During the interview, Clarke recalled what he felt when he was the rhythm guitarist of Guns N’ Roses. He stated that he wanted to be unique and he didn’t want to be new Izzy Stadlin.

Jeff Gaudiosi asked him whether he was able to share his ideas with his former bandmates, Axl Rose and Slash or not. Gilby Clarke answered this question saying that they were in a bubble with their enormous fame and popularity and he was the one that stayed outside. So, he didn’t make the final decision. But, he also added that he did have a say and both Axl Rose and Slash asked him questions about different subjects throughout his playing with them in Guns N’ Roses.

Here’s what he said:

I actually did have a say. Slash would ask me questions all the time. Axl Rose asked me questions all the time. Understand, they were in a bubble. Their success came so fast and stuff, and I’m the one that stepped from the outside who was still the dirty guy from the Hollywood streets. So they did ask me questions. I helped pick some of the bands that opened for Guns N’ Roses, like Helmet. They never heard of Helmet before, and I was like, ‘Helmet is a great band. You guys check them out.’ But I didn’t really have the final decision on anything. They’re gonna do what they wanted to do.

Fundraising Efforts Underway for Texas ROCs

CONCORD, N.H.—Fundraising efforts are underway for two resident-owned communities in Texas who are recovering from last week’s frigid cold and the power and water failures that plagued Texas as a result.

There are two resident-owned communities (ROCs) in Texas – Pasadena Trails located just outside of Houston, and Asociaciòn de Residentes de North Lamar (ARNL) in Austin.

A GoFundMe has been established to help offset damages. To date, the campaign has received over $4,300 from 34 donors. Funds will be distributed directly to the boards of directors at each ROC. From there, the ROCs can determine where best to apply the funds.

Notably, two ROCs in New Hampshire, Heron Point Estates Cooperative and Exeter-Hampton Cooperative, donated a collective $1,500 to their sister ROCs in Texas.

Initial reports from Pasadena Trails highlight over 50 households with burst pipes and 40 broken water meters. The community continues to assess the damage.

At ARNL, water was recently restored after nearly a week without running water due to city shutoffs. A few households are reporting burst pipes, and a more thorough assessment is underway. The community also reported several downed trees because of ice.

Both communities are struggling to find licensed plumbers to assess the damage and make repairs, as damages across the state are creating a massive demand on the industry. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is addressing the shortage by giving provisional permits to out-of-state plumbers.

Consider making a gift today to help these ROCs get back to business as usual.
