FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
Living For What Really Matters
Our longings give us away. We loathe to admit it, but we long for what we do not have. Our search may send us scampering for gourmet meals, expensive vacations, or spunkier sex—and yet, even when we acquire the closest earthly approximations to heavenly bliss, we know it is not enough.
And herein lies the paradox: God never intended for us to deny or ignore what we long for. Those desires are meant to direct us to the only ONE who can satisfy. For if we knew the true OBJECT of our desires, we would be able to turn from the more pathetic substitutes for what they are—pleasures that were never meant to satisfy, but only arouse, to remind us that what we long for is the LORD HIMSELF.

The Difference
I got up early one morning and rushed right into the day; I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t have time to pray. Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each task; “Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered. He said, “But you didn’t ask.” I wanted to see joy and beauty but the day toiled on, gray and bleak; I wondered why God didn’t show me. He said, “But you didn’t seek.” I tried to come into God’s presence; I used all the keys at the lock. God gently and lovingly chided, “My child, you didn’t knock.” I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day. I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

The difference between staring at the ocean from behind a window frame
and looking into his eyes of deep from the foamy shoreline, feet naked;
the difference between the sky seen in an astronomy software display
and the summer dome where thousands of millions of glimmering stars shine;
the difference between the glimpse of an image of a mountain snowy trail
and the whiplashing wind when it pairs like a bourdon the shoes rhythm
while you get step after step closer to the crown of fiery rocky peaks.
The difference between a cd and a concert,
between drop and hammering rain,
between a fob and a chain.
The difference between the memory of a voice
and that voice itself,
between a verse found once on a screen
and an old dusty book on an old dusty shelf.
The difference between morning and night,
wheel and plough,
aliveness and life,
simple air and heady oxygen,
a thunderclap and the Jupiter's big red storm.
Or a love and our Love.

OVERVIEW
Southern Vectis route 7 is a bus service operated by Southern Vectis between Newport and Alum Bay via Yarmouth, Freshwater and Totland. The general daytime frequency of the route is every hour each direction. There had been significant local concern over the withdrawal of route 7 from some villages way back in September 2010. Double-decker buses are normally used to operate the route.
History
Island Explorer 1993-2006
Until April 2006, the route number 7, and its associated 7A and 7B numbers, were used to flag buses providing services on the Island Explorer (or Explorer) route, a circular service around the whole Island. This route was started in the 1993 when the 7 and 7A Ryde to Alum Bay routes were extended, through mergers with other routes, to form a circuit around the Island.
The full Island Explorer route was from Ryde bus station to Shanklin mainly on the A3055 road, then via Wroxall to Ventnor and from there to Blackgang. From 1993-95 the Ryde to Shanklin section ran via Bembridge rather than on the A3055. After Blackgang, buses ran to Freshwater Bay, Totland and Alum Bay. From there the route returned to Totland, then ran on to Yarmouth, Newport and back to Ryde via Havenstreet.
A service ran both ways around the loop, with full circular services running every hour in summer and every two hours in winter. There were additional services, also numbered 7 and 7A, which only ran part of the route. Thedifference between service 7 and service 7A was the route taken between Newport and Yarmouth; route 7 serving Shalfleet and service 7A routed via Calbourne, Newbridge and Wellow.
Briefly in the mid 1990s and from January 2001, a service operated on the route in the interim known as service 12 and part of service 6 between Shanklin and Ventnor. It was numbered 7B and added to the Explorer group. This never provided a round-the-island service, and so it is questionable whether the branding was appropriate. However, the change revived a link which existed up to 1992 through service 1B (and in the 1960s by service 28) with buses running from Totland, via Freshwater Bay and Brighstone, to Newport and Ryde. With the former service 6 dropped north of Ventnor, services from Ryde to Ventnor via Shanklin and Bonchurch were also numbered 7B at this point, and although some through services were run, the two sections seemed to run as separate routes. Service 7B did not continue south of Ventnor, and from 2003 ran on as service 3 through Wroxall to Newport, thus prefiguring the current through running of route 3 from Ryde to Newport via Ventnor.
The main 7/7A service between Ryde and Newport was also re-routed via Staplers at this time - partly because resurfacing work on the road through Havenstreet had raised the surface under the steam railway bridge to the extent that double decker buses could not reliably pass underneath.
Today's route 7 travels between Newport and Alum Bay (daytime) or Totland (early morning and evening) in an indirect fashion. There are no variations in the route except for school requirements. On leaving Newport bus station, all buses travel to Carisbrooke before turning north at the Waverley Inn roundabout through Gunville. After that the route passes through Shalfleet, before turning south again to reach Thorley and Wellow to the West. Yarmouth, to the north-west of Wellow, is the next destination, then buses travel south down Pixley Hill to Freshwater before turning North-West again to reach Colwell Bay and finally heading South to Totland and Alum Bay.
Old, new and in progress.

Philmont is an American pop-punk influenced Christian rock band based out of Los Angeles, California. They are signed to Forefront Records / EMI CMG[1]. Their debut album, Attention, was released on August 25, 2009.
Philmont was formed by Scott Taube, Josiah Prince, Abe Hege, and Matthew Arcaini in Summer of 2005[2]. They recorded their independent debut EP Take Cover with local producer Kit Walters in December of that year [3]. Arcaini left the band in April 2006, and Philmont performed with temporary bassists for over a year. In December 2006, Taube, Hege, and Prince travelled to Eudora, Kansas to record a majority of their Photosynthetic EP at Black Lodge Studios with producer Ed Rose[4]. Kit Walters and Matthew Arcaini each produced a track on the EP as well.
Philmont released Photosynthetic independently on March 6, 2007 at Tremont Music Hall in Charlotte[5]. Justin Sams joined Philmont on bass soon after, putting an end to the long streak of fill-ins. That July, the band performed at the 2007 Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois, where they were discovered by representatives of EMI-CMG[6]. Philmont showcased for the label group that Fall, and were then offered a recording contract with Forefront Records[7]. Hege unexpectedly left the band for personal reasons just weeks before the signing was to take place. Todd Davis had played in a band with Josiah prior to Philmont, and was recruited on short notice. Philmont was able to sign the deal a few days before Christmas.
After signing with Forefront, the band spent several months writing songs in preparation for recording their first full-length album. They spent April and May 2008 recording twelve songs in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Rob Hawkins[7]. The five-song Oh Snap EP was digitally released on August 19, 2008[8], and physically released on April 21, 2009. Their first single "I Can't Stand to Fall" was released to CHR and Christian Rock Radio in July 2008[9], and can be heard on the band's MySpace site.
In September 2008, a music video for EP song "The Difference" was released to YouTube. The band filmed and directed the entire video themselves, as documented in a "behind-the-scenes" video, also available on YouTube. The music video has gained impressive exposure on TV programming like Steelroots, JCTV, and Gospel Music Channel; it was included in the Spring 2009 video playlist for American Eagle stores nationwide, and was also featured on the X 2009 CD/DVD compilation. In February, "The Difference" was released as a radio single to CHR and Christian Rock formats.
Philmont has been on several tours supporting their Oh Snap EP, playing shows across the US with bands like Pillar, This Beautiful Republic, Eleventyseven, Addison Road, Wavorly, and Capital Lights.
In an interview for the March/April 2009 issue of HM Magazine, the title of Philmont's debut album was revealed to be Attention. [10] The album was released on August 25, 2009.
