nestled in the gentle light of pollenรงa's old town, an everyday scene unfolds before an age-old window. two women, clad in white and red, stand out like vibrant strokes of paint yet blend into the historical tapestry. they work in unison, the window their shared charge, tending to the legacy before them. half-open, half-closed, it captures their exchangeโnot of words, but of movements, a shared rhythm in the act of cleaning and renewal. a simple bucket stands witness to the unassuming nature of this scene, rich in history and community.
Some more fun with post processing of my original photo of Amish teenagers driving a loaded hay wagon in Iowa last week....
A few weeks ago we went for a last autumn visit to our favorite sunflower patch and there were grackles in unimaginable numbers hanging out in the large, old cottonwoods surrounding the field and lighting off in swarms to go pick in the field.
The noise was a bit un-nerving but it was fascinating to watch them work. I will never forget it.

"Centre Memorial de Gisimba (Gisimba Memorial Center)
The Gisimba orphanage, located in the Nyamirambo quarter of Kigali, is led by Damas Mutezintare Gisimba. Damas's father founded the orphanage in 1980 with 18 children living in one house. Damas took over in 1986 after the death of his father. During the genocide Damas sheltered over 400 children and adults in the small orphanage compound from the predations of the interahamwe [the Hutu paramilitary squads that carried out much of the genocide]. Though the orphanage was repeatedly menaced, Damas and his colleagues held their ground and did not give in to the genocidaires. He has been honored for his heroism by the Rwandan government and many other organizations.
There are many delightful contrasts running through rising pop punk/rock act Philmont. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based band named itself after a small town in New York because โwe just thought it sounded cool,โ and the title of its earnest debut EP, Oh Snap, is only there to give these guys an excuse to speak that silly phrase on a regular basis. But such lighthearted randomness is balanced by Philmontโs buzzworthy creative strengths, spiritual focus, and a do-it-yourself workethic that snaps everything perfectly into place.
Philmont began in 2005 when singer Scott Taube and guitarist Josiah Prince connected after the breakup of their former local outfits. From the start, this new union was marked by equal parts fun and serious commitment to the task at hand. There were long drives home from college every weekend to rehearse, self-booked summer tours to support an ambitious independent release, and then, soon after bassist Justin Sams joined in 2007, a hard-earned gig at alternative Christian musicโs ultimate event, the Cornerstone Festival.
Taube recalls, โThe challenge at Cornerstone is to stand outโbands are everywhereโso we plastered all the Port-O-Johns with 11 x 17 Philmont flyers and got up early every day to make sure they hadnโt been covered up. Then we walked around with a CD player and earphone splitters, giving free bracelets to kids if theyโd listen to one of our songs and inviting them to the show.โ
That same concert caught the attention of EMI/ForeFront Records (tobyMac), who eagerly signed a deal with Philmont a few months later. With one more tweak to the permanent lineupโdrummer Todd Davis joined this past Decemberโit was time to track Oh Snap.
Produced by Rob Hawkins (Fireflight, Jackson Waters), the EP set sounds absolutely huge. Itโs an intentional move inspired by the membersโ expansive mix of influences from Relient K and classical music to bubblegum melodies and โ90s rock anthems. โI Canโt Stand to Fall,โ the excitable opener and first single, is finely polished chunka-chunka punk accentuated by a bold introduction, layered vocals, and a soft acoustic bridge. The lyrical hook of tear down these walls that separate us now well represents Philmontโs overriding goal to always stay on the same page as God in every facet of life.
โItโs really a song to God, asking Him to remove the barriers we put up in this world that distract us from understanding His ways,โ Taube says. โWeโre proud that the record label picked this as the first song for radio since we completely wrote it ourselves, and it speaks to the core of who we are as a band.โ
Philmontโs songwriting angles are often remarkable, even poetic, as on Oh Snapโs clever โMy Hippocratic Oathโ and โPhotosynthetic.โ The former parallels a doctorโs promise to always work in the patientโs best interest to Godโs offer of salvation. Accompanied by a rapidly pulsating rhythm and escalating melody, the medical motif never lets up, driving the point home: I can save your heart even though itโs destined to fail . . . I guarantee youโll never make it out alive without me.
โThe song begins with someone who is very sick, but the good news is they can be easily and completely healed,โ explains Taube. โWho wouldnโt say yes to that option? Thatโs how it is with Jesus. He offers to save us. We just have to enter into that relationship.โ
Equally compelling and easy to rock out with is the fist-pumping jam of โPhotosynthetic,โ a timely and cautionary courtroom tale for Philmontโs student audience wherein a personal MySpace page becomes evidence of what is really inside someoneโs heart: Just point and shoot. Thatโs all you do to help yourself feel free; murder by photography.
โYouโre always judged for what you put online,โ Taube says. โA Christian can kill his credibility with compromising pictures, swear words used in a blog, and so on. Itโs hard to make that stuff go away.โ
For all of Philmontโs wordsmithing, guitarist Josiah Prince makes sure the music complements its message and is just as creative with unexpected chord changes, tinkling pianos on โI Canโt Stand to Fall,โ a faux horn section on โMy Hippocratic Oath,โ and intentionally heavy-handed synthesizers on โPhotosynthetic.โ
โWe like to do something unique on every song,โ he says. โWe have a lot of fun, but we always want the music to be smart and have depths that a listener can uncover over time.โ
Oh Snap is rounded out by the worshipful โAnother Nameโ (co-written by Justin York and new artist Chris Taylor) and pop-perfect โThe Differenceโ (a co-write with Ben Glover). The latter began with an idea from bassist Justin Sams and takes shape thanks to danceable drumming from Todd Davis. Its theme of anti-complacent Christianity recaps what Philmont feels most passionate about: Thereโs gotta be a difference. Itโs gotta be significant. If Youโre really inside changing my life, You would shine. You would be evident if thereโs a difference.
โWe have a desire to motivate kids in the same way we needed motivating when we were teenagers,โ concludes Taube. โPeople tend to go through the motions instead of going deeper. We want to connect and take them in that direction through an ongoing dialog. Thatโs what our music and our live shows are all about: audience participation.โ
Philmont is now snapping people out of their spiritual complacency on tour across the United States. Just look for the bumper sticker-laden van with a North Carolina tag that says in no uncertain terms โRAWK.โ Following the summer 2008 release of its EP, the band will issue a full-length album in early 2009.

In the past 35 years, I have worked on projects with many people -- some who were extremely good at their jobs, some not so good, and some downright awful.
The dividing line between the three groups: Attention to details. Generosity of spirit. Good-naturedness. Reliability. And a sense of fun.
I now have the extreme pleasure of dealing with another group of people, all of whom fall into the rare "extremely good" category.
These hard-working volunteers have taken on their tasks and responsibilities in Mama's Bloomers as though I were paying them hefty salaries. And. of course, we all know how well Flickr pays. (smile) All that cash and $3.50 will get me a nice cappuccino.
As I ponder this group of individuals, I marvel at them. They come from all over the world, and yet they are united in their work ethics, in their tremendous hearts, and in their generous spirits. And in their attention to details.
I bow to you all - my marvelous team members. I thank God you exist, and that He chose to allow you into my life. For you have enriched it greatly. Thank-you.
The line-up:
Gina: My co-head admin, and my dearest Flickr friend. My girl. You know my heart for you, Gina! Cotton dresses, pouring rain, and laughter! You work far too hard. You worry me. Slow down, sweetheart. Come walk in the garden with me.
Claudio: My exotic Italian friend. Hard-working and so very consistent. Thank you, Claudio. In the short time, I have known you; I have come to appreciate your generous spirit greatly.
Aaron: A longtime and one of my dearest male friends on Flickr. Thank you, for all that you are, Aaron. Your spirit is a rare find, indeed. You will always be special to me.
Sharon: Where you came from, I'll never know. But I thank God for adding your quirky little self to my life. You work so hard, and give so much, and even when facing tough times, you burst through like a ray of sunshine. Love you, Sharon!
Lynne: Can you say "busy as a beaver?" This woman is simply remarkable. And she manages to get it all done. She works tirelessly on Mama's, and she still manages to turn out some of the most beautiful photographs. I am so blessed to count you among my good friends, Lynne. You are amazing.
Bill: This is a unique individual, as unique as they come. I knew Bill in passing, in that he was always there to ask for help in any of the other groups I have worked with on Flickr. He usually would step in as an admin, do the code work, and then step down. But this time he stayed. And, Bill, that generous act has not gone unnoticed. Thank you.
Peter: I was first attracted to Peterโs sense of fun. But then I got to know him as a fellow believer in the Lord. Thatโs when he became my baby brother in Christ. Peter has become dearer to me than any blood brother ever could be. I adore this wonderful man, this wonderful steadfast and righteous man. You know you are never far from my heart, dear Peter. Be blessed in the name of Yeshua ha Mashiach, my dear Ach. Much love from your Achot b'Mashiach! (He gives me Hebrew lessons!)
Dave H. - What started as a goof-around friendship, has turned into a hardy and respectful work relationship. Dave takes my breath away with his attention to details, his wonderful generous spirit, and his blessed sense of fun. You are very special to me, Dave. I would work with you anywhere, anytime, on any project, because I would know you would always have my back. And I would always have yours.
David T. - For those of you who don't know, this is my husband of 22 years. He isn't into flowers, but he is into me. When he saw me nearly have a breakdown in trying to handle the unruly child that Mama's had become, he did what he always does for me. He came alongside me and asked how he could help me. He set up the software to count the awards, and he diligently tallies awards in the main pool, and in the specialty threads twice a day. He is my main man! My very best friend. The best husband on the planet! I love you, David.
Tom: Tom slipped in from nowhere. I spotted him because he was bopping around Mama's, all on his own, helping here and helping there, just like one of us. I loved that he carefully considered my request to join us, because I knew that when he did finally say, "Yes," that he meant what he said. I am blessed to count you as my friend, Tom. Very blessed.
Alan: This funny and wonderful man came storming in out of the blue. He stood out from the crowd like some goofy giraffe with a rose in his teeth, and bloomers on his head. Alan made me laugh. And I loved him immediately. Amazing spirit, and what a sense of fun. I am so glad to count you as one of my friends, Alan. You had me at, โHello,โ too.
If you like Mamaโs Bloomers, then please join me in applauding my team members. For it is because of them, that Mamaโs garden is as healthy and as beautiful and as welcoming as it is.
Blessings,
Sheree
The Carlisle Thundering Herd football team lost Friday's conference game against the Cumberland Valley Eagles, by a score of 33-13. The Herd were without their starting QB, due to a concussion from the previous week of play. The team needs to win the rest of their games, if they hope to become eligible for the playoffs. A couple of backup players stepped up and played hard this game.
The refs made a few questionable calls in favor of CV and that could have changed the momentum of the game in Carlisle's favor. This is Coach Conrad's first year, so I feel the team will get better as the years go by. "ALL IN!"
