Victory is the trait that means to overcome the worst of times, in wars people face chaos but for the good guys to finally prevail against the enemy is victory! There is also the personal war within, for us to overcome the demon in the mirror is a far greater challenge than the one in other places! True victory is defeating that sinful demon that we see in the mirror. Overcoming harsh times, weather and others casually wouldn't survive, that is victory!
"Joka voittaa,
sen minä annan istua kanssani valtaistuimellani,
niinkuin minäkin olen voittanut
ja istunut Isäni kanssa hänen valtaistuimellensa."
"Den som vinner seger,
honom skall jag låta sitta med mig på min tron,
likasom jag själv har vunnit seger
och satt mig med min Fader på hans tron."
"He who overcomes,
I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne,
as I also overcame,
and sat down with my Father on his throne."
Rev. 3:21
We're in the All Ireland Junior Cup Final!
by Roger Corbett
Bangor produced an awesome display of power and composure to overcome a strong Clogher Valley side by 9-6 and book their place in this season’s final.
With both sides able to field their full-strength starting fifteens, backed up by an equally proficient seven man bench, this all-Ulster semi-final between two of the top teams within the Qualifying League had caught the attention of many rugby enthusiasts who were anticipating a memorable contest. The playing surface and weather conditions were just about perfect, with what little breeze there was blowing across the pitch and of little advantage to either side.
With hundreds of spectators lining the touchlines, and many more watching from the warmth and comfort of the clubhouse, Bangor’s Jason Morgan got proceedings underway. The home side didn’t want to repeat the early mistakes of last week’s game at CIYMS, and appeared to be focussed from the outset. However, Clogher Valley were obviously mindful of their last visit to Upritchard Park and started with power and purpose. The first couple of set pieces showed why their pack is a force to be reckoned with, pushing Bangor back with worrying ease. Building on this early dominance, Clogher took play into Bangor’s twenty two and mounted several good attacking moves. Bangor’s defence held firm on each occasion, until Clogher decided the only way they were going to come away with some points for these efforts was to take a drop goal, giving them an early lead by 0-3.
Having been under considerable pressure, Bangor started to work their way back into the game and were eventually rewarded with a Mark Widdowson penalty, which levelled the scores at 3-3 after 20 minutes. Further pressure from the home side soon resulted in another Clogher infringement at the breakdown, which resulted in another Widdowson penalty which put Bangor ahead for the first time by 6-3.
Although Clogher still looked dangerous in attack, when Bangor regained possession they quickly turned defence into attack through sensible and accurate positional kicking from Jason Morgan. Having gained good territory, Bangor then fought hard to stay there, even to the point where they managed to charge down two Clogher clearance kicks, although to the visitors’ relief the ball bounced out of play. However, the sustained pressure being exerted through Bangor’s back line eventually led to another penalty, which Widdowson converted to extend the lead to 9-3, which brought the first half to a close.
The first good attacking opportunity of the second half fell to Clogher after just 6 minutes. From a penalty in mid-field, a good kick brought the line-out close to Bangor’s 5 metre line. This is usually the platform from where Clogher are most deadly – their line-out and driving maul is a difficult force to stop. However, Bangor were prepared and not only stopped the drive, but turned the ball over and cleared their lines. Then to drive home the fact, they did it again a few minutes later. Given Clogher’s rightful reputation for their prowess in this area, the defensive response by Bangor’s forwards was truly impressive.
The only worrying time for Bangor came after 14 minutes when captain Jamie Clegg was somewhat harshly yellow-carded for pulling down a maul. From the resulting penalty, Clogher clawed back 3 points, making the score now 9-6.
However, obviously buoyed by their earlier dominance in the forwards, the seven man scrum of Bangor was now pushing the eight man Clogher pack backwards. Psychologically, this was a turning point, as Bangor now assumed control and prevented their opponents from developing any meaningful attacks. This, combined with Morgan’s positional kicking, resulted in Clogher being pinned down for most of the final quarter in their own half. Clogher’s situation became even more difficult when, after 22 minutes, one of their second row forwards was yellow-carded for not rolling away from a tackle.
With both sides finding it hard to break through each other’s defence, Bangor played tactically by simply preventing their opponents to build meaningful attacks through committed and effective defence, and then pushing them back deep into their own territory through long kicks for touch. On at least two occasions, Bangor came close to crossing Clogher’s line through breaks by Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. They then had an opportunity within the final 5 minutes to extend their lead when Widdowson had another penalty kick from the right of Clogher’s posts. However, a sudden attack of cramp in his run-up resulted in the kick being miss-hit, and the ball drifted wide of the mark. Although disappointed not to have scored, Bangor stuck to their plan, and continued to thwart any chance of a counter attack, finally running down the clock to record a famous victory.
While the final score-line may not suggest it, this was an enthralling game from start to finish, played in good spirit and without any major injuries. For the visitors’ part, they may feel that they didn’t play to their normal high standard. However, they came up against a Bangor side that has proved so far in this competition that it can match and better the best junior sides in Ireland. Bangor’s route to the final has been as difficult as it could be possible – Clonmel (one of the pre-tournament favourites, and Munster champions) in round 1, Enniscorthy (the current cup holders) in the quarter finals, and now Clogher Valley (last year’s beaten finalists, and the current QL1 champions) in the semis. What lies ahead on 31st January 2015 is still unclear, following a 25-25 draw at the other semi-final between CIYMS and Dundalk. What is clear, however, is that Bangor can rightly look forward in confidence to face whoever is to come between them and the title. In the meantime, there are still vital games ahead in the league, resuming with a home fixture against Cooke next weekend.

"The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom [on 28 August 1963] was the largest civil rights demonstration the nation had ever witnessed. One hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation, an estimated 250,000 Americans gathered to petition the government to pass meaningful civil rights legislation and enforce existing laws establishing racial equality.
The march was conceived by A. Philip Randolph, leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, coordinated by Bayard Rustin, and supported by almost all the major civil rights organizations and many labor unions and religious organizations. Speakers included Randolph, John Lewis, James Farmer, Walter Reuther, and Martin Luther King Jr., whose 'I Have a Dream' speech invoked the hopes of all Americans seeking racial justice.
Many of those who participated in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom returned home with keepsakes like this poster—one of a series sold by organizers to help defray the event's costs. Designed by artist Louis Lo Monaco, the poster tells a story through collage, bringing together black-and-white photography, bold colors, and the iconic phrase 'We Shall Overcome.' "

Daily Devotionals - What Does the Overcomer in Revelation Mean?
By Xuezhi
When they hear about “overcomers,” most Christians think those who labor and work for the Lord, who can keep the Lord’s name, who can sit in prison for years without denying the Lord, and who experience all kinds of persecutions and tribulations and yet can still stand witness, are the overcomers referred to in Revelation. Is that view correct? What, exactly, do the overcomers in the Bible refer to?
First, let’s read God’s words on the subject. In Revelation, it is prophesied, “These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God” (Revelation 14:4–5). God’s words say, “Those who God refers to as overcomers are those who are still able to stand witness, maintain their confidence, and their devotion to God when under the influence of Satan and under siege by Satan, that is, when within the forces of darkness. If you are still able to maintain a heart of purity and your genuine love for God no matter what, you stand witness in front of God, and this is what God refers to as being an overcomer.” “Those who are made complete before the disaster are obedient to God. They live reliant on Christ, witness Christ, and exalt Him. They are the victorious male children and the good soldiers of Christ.” In God’s words, we can see that “overcomers” refer to those who are shepherded by the Lamb before the throne. They have the truth as life, their corrupt dispositions have been completely purified, they no longer sin or resist God, they are able to fear God and shun evil, and no matter how Christ works or speaks, they are able to absolutely obey, follow closely the footsteps of the Lamb, and be loyal to God and no other. Even if they suffer persecution or tribulation, they persist in reading God’s word as usual and performing the duties of a created being. They do this purely out of love for God and to satisfy God, they live to do God’s will, and amidst all kinds of torment and trials, they do not complain. They are obedient to God even unto death, and they create beautiful, resonant witness for God. These people are the overcomers God will perfect, and these are the 144,000 victorious male children prophesied in Revelation, which entirely fulfills the prophecy in Revelation that “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).
