“Angels Voices, Ever Singing” Descant By James Varrick Armaah performed by the Harmonious Chorale from Ghana _________________________ Angel Voices, Ever Singing Composer: Francis Pott

Angel voices, ever singing, round Thy throne of light Angel harps, forever ringing, rest not day or night Thousands only live to bless Thee, and confess Thee Lord of might.

Thou Who art beyond the farthest mortal eye can scan Can it be that Thou regardest songs of sinful man Can we feel that Thou art near us and wilt hear us? Yea, we can.

Lord, we know Thy love rejoices o'er each work of Thine Thou didst ears and hands and voices for Thy praise combine Craftsman's art and music's measure for Thy pleasure didst design.

Here, great God, today we offer of Thine own to Thee And for Thine acceptance proffer, all unworthily Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, in our choicest melody.

Honor, glory, might and merit, Thine shall ever be Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, blessed Trinity Of the best that Thou hast given Earth and heaven render Thee...

Today in Christian History

Today is Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023. It is the 235th day of the year (231st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar; 130 days remain until the end of the year.

1712: Addison’s hymn “The Spacious Firmament on High” appears in the Spectator at the end of an essay on faith.

1723: Death of Increase Mather, one of America’s most famous eighteenth-century clergymen, a president of Harvard College, and the father of Cotton Mather. Mather had published many books, including Cases of Conscience Concerning Witchcraft which helped end executions for witchcraft in New England.

1828: Carl Gutzlaff and Jacob Tomlin become the first Protestant missionaries to set foot in Thailand.

1838: Death of Gideon Blackburn who had been a missionary to the Cherokee and an evangelist and church planter in other frontier states, including Tennessee. Blackburn Theological Seminary (later renamed Blackburn College) will be named in honor of him.

The first class graduates from Mt. Holyoke Seminary, the first American college for women, founded by the Christian educator Mary Lyon. (pictured above)

1888: Huang Su’e marries Episcopal missionary Francis Lister Hawks Pott, a leader and educator with the Chinese Anglican Church. Huang will evangelize, teach, and found an orphanage.

1901: Six hundred American teachers arrive in the Philippines to staff schools and begin mass education of Filipinos. With them comes Protestantism, which will eventually make up about 7% of the island nation’s population.

1918: Soviets execute Ephraim, the Orthodox bishop of Selenginsk. He had been a fiery preacher, beloved of his people, and had converted Mongols, Buryats, and Koreans to Christianity.

1952: Death in Catonsville, Maryland, of Russell Kelso Carter. A Methodist preacher, he had authored the hymn “Standing on the Promises.”

1928: Death in Catonsville, Maryland, of Russell Kelso Carter. A Methodist preacher, he had authored the hymn “Standing on the Promises.”

1952: Death of Frederick Kenyon, biblical archeologist and author of Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts. He had had a knack for making his findings intelligible to lay people.

1966: Communist Chinese Red Guards smash the windows of Moore Memorial Church, burn its books, burn its cross, and confine church leader Sun Yanli and his family in the building where they interrogate and whip them. Later, when they are released, the guards will shave Sun’s head and make him sweep and clean the church buildings.

2008: A rampage against Christians begins in Orissa State, India, following the assassination of a Hindu leader which is blamed on Christians. Hindu mobs will kill forty Christians and burn thousands of homes, hundreds of churches, and thirteen schools. They will also rape many Christian women and sell dozens into sexual slavery. Tens of thousands of Christians will flee from the violence.

What are your favorite musicals and which musicals would you assign to your favorite countries based on personality? Yes, This is me asking what Music themes you'd assign them too I guess without looking at youtube and seeing videos 10 years old. I miss seeing Character Theme videos.

Oooh this is a good one! I'm also going to share musicals that make me think of some ships too because I want to ramble about the two musicals that make me think of a GerEng AU.

Okay but Characters.

Canada- Dear Evan Hansen

I know. Kind of basic. But I love DEH. "Waving Through a Window" is such a Mattie song. But what really sells the idea for me is that "So Big / So Small" is such a good song for Royal Red Bros. Francis is the dad that left, and Arthur tries to pick up the pieces, but also fails Matthew. Just the dynamic between Evan's Mom and Evan is just perfect for these two. Like Evan's mom does love Evan, but being a single mom isn't easy and to provide for him she has to work ridiculous hours so she's not there for him physically. Which is a similar postion Arthur finds himself in.

Also the lines

"That night I tucked you into bed

I will never forget how you sat up and said

'Is there another truck coming to our drive way?

A truck that will take mommy away.'"

Just hit me so hard with feels for Arthur and Matt. Just imagining a little Mattie asking Arthur one night if Arthur is going to leave him behind too. Because Francis left and Arthur seems so much more focused on Alfred. Matthew it terrified it will happen again. And it breaks Arthur's heart.

ALTERNATIVELY

Canada - Next to Normal (Specifically the song "Superboy and the Invisible Girl")

I don't know enough about what this musical is actually about other than we follow our main character Diana who is struggling with bipolar disorder and hallucinations of her dead son. And basically I think it shows how her condition affects her family?

But we did "Superboy and the Invisible Girl" for some concert once and I actually played Diana. And every time I rehearsed this song, all I could think of was ACE Family.

It is primarily Natalie, Diana's daughter, feeling neglected and ignored because of her Mother's grief over her son's death.

This line really makes me think of the two, especially after Alfred has become independent and Matthew attempts to pick up the pieces of a broken Arthur:

"Super boy and the invisible girl

He's the one you'd wish would appear

He's your hero, forever your son

He's not here, I am here"

---

America - Hamliltion

For obvious reasons. American history. Main character is smart, but also so impulsive. "I'm not Throwing Away my Shot" always make me think of Al.

---

England - Mary Poppins

Of course I choose something obvious. You know how much I love Arthur with kids. And Mary Poppins is that strict parental figure, but she does want what's best for the kids in her care, and I think that's perfect for Arthur.

Also I just love imagining Arthur singing "Feed the Birds."

Also also. get 2p England involved and make Oliver Bert. So double the Englands making it more fitting. Alternatively Gilbert could be Bert to make it Pruk instead.

---

GerEng - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I have this whole musical casted with Hetalia characters. But the summary first because its probably a musical not many know. I really don't know how to encompass everything so I'm just going to steal the summary from IMDb:

"A down-on-his-luck inventor turns a broken-down Grand Prix car into a fancy vehicle for his children, and then they go off on a magical fantasy adventure to save their grandfather in a far-off land."

God I had orginally had a long decription of a cast list for this but I'll ramble about that in another post. All you need to know though:

Arthur as Caratacus Potts - The down on his luck inventor and single father. Sometimes his work distracts him, but he really does love his kids

Ludwig as Truly Scrumptious - A candy heiress who meets the Potts family after almost running over the children when they run out into the road. She and Caratacus kind of get off on the wrong foot when she argues that the kids should be in school and not running around. But after he impresses her with his inventions and she joins them on their adventure in their magic car, the two fall in love.

Peter as Jeremy and Jemimah - Because I can't think of a second child to go with Peter I just have Peter right now. Because I love GerEng being dads to him.

Anyway. The songs.

First we have "You Two" which actually makes me imagine things separate from this au. Because this is also so good for ACE Family. I ramble about it more here.

"Doll On a Music Box" One of my favourite songs to listen too to daydream about GerEng. Just them pulling the same stunt Caratacus and Truly do to rescue the kids. Also Ludwig dressed up as a doll is a nice image.

"Lovely Lonely Man" Could work for either of them, but I always have loved the idea of Ludwig singing this about Arthur. Because Ludwig fell fast just like the song suggests while Arthur took a bit of time. It's just a perfect monologue of Ludwig admitting his feelings to himself.

God I could go on but I'll save the rest for a separate post

---

Okay one last one for GerEng! Music Man.

Summary from Stage Agent: "There’s trouble in River City! When smooth-talking con man Harold Hill arrives in a small, tight-knit town in Iowa, he expects to dupe its residents with his elaborate moneymaking scheme: Despite his complete lack of musical literacy, he will convince everyone that he is a brilliant bandleader and recruit all the boys in town to form a band, pocketing the cash for instruments and uniforms. The problem? Some of the town members, especially the stern librarian, Marian Paroo, don’t quite buy Harold’s story. As Harold struggles to keep his scheme afloat, he also finds himself increasingly attached to the townspeople, who have all experienced a positive change since Harold came to town. Complicating matters even more, Harold is also falling head-over-heels for the beautiful Marian."

God I could go on about this one too, but keeping it brief:

Arthur as the con man Harold Hill selfish and prideful only to have a change of heart by forming genuine connections within the town.

Ludwig as the stern yet also hopeless romantic Marian. That despite knowing Arthur is a con man sees him grow and falls for him

"Goodnight My Someone / Seventy-Six Trombones (Double Reprise)" The two leads main songs coming together with them singing each other's half way through. God I just love thinking of GerEng for this scene so much! I think its so romantic to sing each other's themes to each other.

Also "Goodnight My Someone" on its own is very fitting for Ludwig. As is Marian's chacter as whole. Both are stern indivduals, refusing to take nonsense from anyone. They seem like a stick in the mud, perhaps a little cold, but both have a sweetness deep down, longing for connection. And "Goodnight My Someone" is when we first see this side of Marian.

"Marian the Librarian" Just the back and forth and tension in this song. Hill/Arthur is kind of a dick. Flirting, but really he's just playing a game at this point and bugging Marian/Ludwig at work when they're clearly aren't having it. It's another fun scene I like imagining GerEng. Especially since Arthur is really pushing his luck angering someone who could snap him like a toothpick he'd be into that let's be honest but that's not a discussion for this blog

Thank you anon for letting me combine my love of musical theatre and my love for Hetalia together! I encourage more questions like this actually so don't be scared guys!

 July 2022 Mangum Dental Hike-of-the-Month Sierra Prieta to Butte Creek

Distance: 5.7-mile loop

Difficulty: Moderate (First mile out and back would be easy)

Elevation Gain: 935 feet (7,016′ high to 6,152′ low) 

Parking: Parking for this hike is across the road from the trailhead at the Sierra Prieta Overlook (or Skull Valley Overlook).  It is a dirt parking area with an amazing view of Skull Valley.  There are no restrooms or water.

Directions: The trailhead to Sierra Prieta (#366) is 9.2 miles from Mangum Dental on Willow Creek Road.  Drive south on Willow Creek and marvel as the same road changes from Willow Creek to Miller Valley and again to Grove. When Grove ends, make a right on Gurley and a quick left of Park Ave.  Pass Lincoln School and turn right when Park Avenue dead-ends at Copper Basin Road. Take Copper Basin Road west for 5.7 miles.  It will turn to dirt halfway up the mountain. Pass the Aspen Creek Parking Area and at the intersection of Copper Basin, Mt. Francis Road, and Thumb Butte Road, take a right onto Thumb Butte Road.  The road can be rough at times.  The parking area is on the left about 1 mile on Thumb Butte Road.  The alternate route would be to go out Thumb Butte Road 5.5 miles past the Thumb Butte Recreation Area.

Summary:

Sierra Prieta to Butte Creek is an absolute gem in the high elevation mountains south of Prescott and starts at an elevation of almost 7,000′.  It is a combination of the Sierra Prieta Trail (#366) and two old jeep trails (#9401J and #9707T ) that are connected by Potts Creek Trail (#327).  The first mile on the Sierra Prieta Trail (#366) makes an easy 1.8-mile hike that is simply out and back.  It has many oak trees and makes for a beautiful fall hike. In the first mile, there is a barbed-wire gate and magnificent views that need to be savored like the filet at Farm Provisions in downtown Prescott. To the east find Mount Francis, Spruce Mountain, and Mount Union all with towers or antennas. At 0.9 miles the Sierra Prieta Trail (#366) ends and there are two old jeep trails. Trail #9707T is on the left and heads north-northeast, downhill and rocky.  Williams Peak looms large to the west. There are large trees that provide shade and the jeep trail appears to be more single track as vegetation and new growth pine trees have encroached on the old road.  At about 2.0 miles the trail meets Butte Creek.  Here the trail is wide and soon intersects with Potts Creek Trail (#327).  Turn right and follow the trail as it leaves the jeep trail and then joins it again.  Parallel Potts Creek until the “area 51″ marker.  Take a right for 0.4 miles and take another right and join Potts Creek Trail (#327) again.  Hike south for 350 yards to the intersection of trail #9401J.  This trail is moderately steep uphill and more exposed due to recent fire abatement work in the area.  Partway up the trail, the views of Granite Mountain and Thumb Butte are special.  Join back with Sierra Prieta Trail (#366) and back to the trailhead. Having a map or GPS is helpful on the north end of this loop as there are many trails in the area.  This is also a popular mountain biking area and segments of this hike are included in the Whiskey Off-Road Race. 

Viewing Thumb Butte from the south, the mountain looks more like a hen’s comb than a Thumb.  My favorite view of this iconic Prescott landmark is from the north.  I see a lying lion. Perspective is influenced heavily by our position and in this climate of political and social intolerance, it would be beneficial for us all to view issues from a variety of positions.  

The dentists at Mangum Dental have been serving the Prescott area since 1978.  We strive to be earning your trust with a smile.  Find out more about us at www.MangumDental.com and click on our Hike-of-the-Month link to view our previously featured hikes.

On This Day in 1893 - Morphine murderer Carlyle Harris, his last mile and his last laugh.

On This Day in 1893 – Morphine murderer Carlyle Harris, his last mile and his last laugh.

The 1890’s spawned both the electric chair and a rash of murder by morphine. Unlike today morphine was far more easily obtained and, with forensic science still evolving, far harder to detect. Carlyle Harris and Robert Buchanan, a medical student and doctor respectively, are prime examples. They are forever linked by morphine, murder, the electric chair and their unwilling contributions to…

Anthony, drunk off his ass taking his turn to say stories in team bonding night: so you know, my dad loved trains as a kid right. Well I had passion for destroying everything in my path

Friggason: Can relate

Anthony: - And he had this elaborate, mechanical train sets they made back then, you know the ones you build around the room?? It was his favorite thing on earth and my territoial little toddler ass was like....Father cares not for me? Father favors unity with the machines? Has he forsaken my existence? And WELL, I knew where the tools were so-

Joseph: God this story is burned in my brain, white boys are such drama queens

Alianova: I like how Tony's first instinct was to go terminator on his father's belongings

Anthony: I WAS 3 CUT ME A BREAK. A N Y w a y, so I like. Smashed the train into pieces right, now. I didn't wanna blame anybody for this cause dad had like, the temper of a hot teapot, so I'm like you know what. Let me just dismantle this and bury it, maybe he'll assume Jarvis just,,,,cleaned the room and bagged the train somewhere and forgot about it

Beatriz: Okay wait I gotta ask, were you the family who had servants at their back and call 24/7m

Anthony: No??? We had a housekeeper.

Grant and James: [Sip soda in Poor]

Francis: DO you hear yourself?? Like when you talk???

Rupert: I will never understand rich people period

Hogan: Amen

Anthony: And so, I thought, ok. He's gonna get another one it's gonna be fine, or just forget about it all together. At 3 am in the fucking asscrack of night, I hear a military trumpet waking me up and to this day I haven't got the slightest clue where he got it from but he DID, and he called a meeting to his room. What lays at his feet? The.fucking.train

Janet: Not even Agatha wrote this murder

Rupert: I'm having MIT flashbacks, you were so salty you got caught for that

Anthony: IM! SO terrified. Because Jarvis is watching me with that 'I know you did some shit you weren't supposed to' look because he had dad instincts like that, I'm feeling like a damn Sherlock Holmes criminal waiting to be caught, dad is ranting so fast I feel like I'm listening to Greek recordings, brings the ceiling upside down, and grandma the whole time has an avocado facemask slipping off her cheeks and I can TELL they know I did it. I must have looked so guilty because dad just. Points at me and with the most betrayed voice yells "Y O U ! ?" ... I look at my family, Jarvis, Mom , Grandma and Uncle Joseph... and they look AWAY Pepper

Vriginia: L O S I N G her shit

Joseph: YOU DONT KNOW THE WORSE OF IT-- Howie is just, take him to his room, and I think, good on you man, keeping your cool-- This fucker howls the most UNHINGED scream I've heard, jumps out THROUGH the window, and rolls on the lawn for like 2 hour. He also baught that ugly ass flamingo at that time and that bitch just watches him GO at it. Best thing I've seen in my life.
