Another One Bites the Dust - Just in Time for Honoring the Reformation - McCormick Seminary Has Nestled Beside The Lutheran School of Theology at the Catholic Theological Union.

 

The former McCormick Seminary, joined at the LSTC hip, also has a habit of moving to other locations. They previously joined at their former locations and have now moved together again for the symbolism of returning to Rome. Many Lutheran leaders are spiritually already in Rome, Eastern Orthodoxy, or Pasadena. " Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Matthew 26:31 KJV.




Savills relocates McCormick Theological Seminary to new home in Hyde Park


Savills [real estate team!] represented the McCormick Theological Seminary in its campus relocation to the Catholic Theological Union building. McCormick will move later this year to a nearly 11,000-square-foot space at 5416 South Cornell Ave. in the Hyde Park neighborhood.

Savills was selected to find a new home for McCormick after the seminary sold its former campus to the University of Chicago. The Savills team of Chicago region President Robert Sevim, Senior Managing Directors Adam Southard and Marty Festenstein, and Associate Cullen Hurley were tapped to locate a new campus near the seminary’s former location in Hyde Park.

“The Catholic Theological Union building is a fitting new home for the McCormick Theological Seminary,” said Sevim. “McCormick’s long-time neighbor, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago has also recently moved in, and the property is becoming a thriving environment for collaboration for these three historic institutions. These three theological schools can share the existing amenities, which provides a unique community experience for students, faculty, and staff within the building.”

The location allows the McCormick Theological Seminary to continue its important mission and achieve its community-oriented goals by remaining within the Hyde Park neighborhood. The building provides efficient, flexible floorplates and the seminary will build a new space for its operations within the building. Finally, the Savills team negotiated an enhanced building signage package for McCormick.

McCormick Theological Seminary, founded in 1829, is one of 10 schools related to the Presbyterian Church (USA) and is an accredited member of the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the United States and Canada and the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). The seminary is also affiliated with the Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS).

Ouch! Ski and Glende - take them to court! Sue the innocent!








This is a reminder - WELS, ELS, LCMS, ELCA, CLC (sic) and others did more than let Justification by Faith slip away. They extended the Left Boot of Fellowship to all who believe the Chief Article of Christianity.



Shirts, jeans, and false doctrine - they all match!

Dr. Joel Fuhrman Spoke on Facebook Today about Nutrition

 

 Dr. Joel Fuhrman - Eat To Live

Today I listened to parts of Fuhrman's talk on Facebook. He emphasizes exercise and has workouts every single day.

One point struck me, because I live in the land of sweet tea, biscuits and gravy - "Exercise means strong muscles that go with strong bones." The counterpoint creeps up slowly - aching legs and muscles, rotator cuff injury, frozen shoulder, sprains, knee and muscle injuries, excess weight - trouble caused by low-nutrition food in abundance and poverty in exercise.

All food creates addiction, so the evil food not only excludes good food but makes good food seem disgusting. In contrast, breaking the fast food and prepared grocery food addiction will make simple foods delicious, dolled up foods disgusting:

  • I just opened a big box of baby spinach and ate a bunch plain. No calories, lots of nutrition.
  • I ate a banana, the fifth fresh fruit of the day.
  • I had some little cinnamon toasts with a little bit of butter.
The chickpeas I eat have 120 mg of salt. The new ones at WM have 480 and 650 mg of salt for extra flavor and all that - one based on Dr. Pepper. The food collections I consume regularly include:
  1. Eggs and toast for breakfast, with Charlie Sue's including Science Diet.
  2. Chopped greens (spinach, kale, collards).
  3. Frozen vegetables - peas, beans, green beens, onions, green and red peppers, plus canned tomato paste.
  4. Oranges, apples, bananas, blue berries, pineapple.
  5. Walnuts.
  6. Ground flax seeds.
  7. One sausage divided equally between Charlie and me (lunch with beans, greens, etc).
I have gradually rejected the following and no long crave -
  • Restaurant and fast food emporiums, with rare exceptions.
  • Processed food loaded with salt and fat.
  • Canned and "seasoned" foods choked with salt, sugar and fat.
  • Candy and chewing gum.
  • Colas and bubbly water with salt added.
  • Ice cream, though Charlie recently shared her Schwan ice cream cone with me.
  • Large bread slices in large quantities.
  • Butter, with a few exceptions. 
  • Schwan's frozen foods and pizza. They are now banned and I told them why - way overpriced, over-salted, sugared, and fatty.
The Schwans sold part of their company to South Koreans.
Marvin is a saint in the WELS-ELS-LCMS liturgical calendar.


One Small Step for an Insect - One Giant Leap for Tyson Foods
In Springdale, Arkansas

 

Insects favor plant-based food, which keeps them from relying on the sugar-fat-grease disaster of human diets. Nutrition experts are divided.

2021 report from Rabobank noted that “the demand for insect protein, mainly as an animal feed and pet food ingredient, could reach half a million metric tons by 2030, up from today’s market of approximately 10,000 metric tons.” That year, Mars launched a line of cat food made from insects, called LoveBug.

The Springdale, Arkansas-based Tyson doesn’t make pet food, but it does sell its animal byproducts for use in the pet food and aquaculture market, which feeds fish, the CFO said. Byproducts like animal fats, hides and inedible proteins, if not used or reduced, can end up in landfills. In this case, Tyson can send what’s in the stomach of cattle it has processed to a Protix facility, where it’s fed to insects. For the company, creating a larger market for this type of waste can not only reduce waste but offer a larger revenue stream.
