Anchored In The Lord"Devotional, Faith Confessions & PrayersWhenever God tries to promote us, it is in our nature to pick up the phone, grab friends and pull family by the hand. In most cases, we help our loved ones pack their bags for the journey. Why? Most Believers whole-heartedly desire for others to be “promoted” with us.So we gather our friends and family and they all board our ship; yet, we find ourselves frustrated because some people are rowing (pushing us closer to your purpose) while others are anchors (stopping progress). Webster's Dictionary defines an anchor as, “A heavy weight that keeps an entire ship at a standstill.” Interesting… why do we get frustrated with the anchors? Why are we surprised that some of our friends and yes, even family are anchored in their own agenda, anchored in old mindsets and will never row the boat if it means helping someone else (including you) advance?Don't get upset! Perhaps you didn't follow God's instructions…“The LORD said to Abram (You),“Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. Genesis 12:1-3”We cannot take everyone to the next level with us. Our loyalty has to be to God and HIS word first. Continuing to carry dead weight can make us miss our blessing. Do you want the blessings of Abraham? “Be Anchored In The Lord”
Shakespeare in Children's Literature looks at the genre of Shakespeare-for-children, considering both adaptations of his plays and children's novels in which he appears as a character. Drawing on feminist theory and sociology, Hateley demonstrates how Shakespeare for children utilizes the ongoing cultural capital of "Shakespeare," and the pedagogical aspects of children's literature, to perpetuate anachronistic forms of identity and authority.
For more than a century, trading posts in the American Southwest tied the U.S. economy and culture to those of American Indian peoples—and in this capacity, Hubbell Trading Post, founded in 1878 in Ganado, Arizona, had no parallel. This book tells the story of the Hubbell family, its Navajo neighbors and clients, and what the changing relationship between them reveals about the history of Navajo trading. Drawing on extensive archival material and secondary literature, historian Erica Cottam begins with an account of John Lorenzo Hubbell, who was part Hispanic, part Anglo, and wholly brilliant and charismatic. She examines his trading practices and the strategies he used to meet the challenges of Navajo exchange customs and a seasonal trading cycle. Tracing the trading post’s affairs through the upheavals of the twentieth century, Cottam explores the growth of tourism, the development of Navajo weaving, the automobile’s advent, and the Hubbells’ relationship with the Fred Harvey Company. She also describes the Hubbell family’s role in providing Navajo and Hopi demonstrators for world’s fairs and other events and in supplying museums with Native artifacts. Acknowledging the criticism aimed at the Hubbell family for taking advantage of Navajo clients, Cottam shows the family’s strengths: their integrity as business operators and the warm friendships they developed with customers and with the artists, writers, archaeologists, politicians, and tourists attracted to Navajo country by its unparalleled landscapes and fascinating peoples. Cottam traces the preservation efforts of Hubbell’s daughter-in-law after the Great Depression and World War II fundamentally altered the trading post business, and concludes with the post’s transition to its present status as a National Park Service historic site.
