What’s on Your Mind? Redefining Failure Calling all my fellow perfectionists: Anyone else out there suffer from a paralyzing fear of failure? I’ll be the first to admit that I do—which is crazy, considering how relatively “successful” I have been throughout my life. How is it that we can achieve so much and yet still feel like we’re not measuring up? I think John Ortberg nailed it on the head when he wrote, “Failure is not an event, but rather a judgment about an event. Failure is not something that happens to us, . . . it is a way we think about outcomes.” My friends, failure is so often a matter of perception. When our plans don’t go exactly as we hope, when relationships fall apart, when we face rejection or suffer setbacks, it’s natural for us to feel as though we are inadequate, incompetent, or broken. But we do not have to let failure define us. Yes, our circumstances and experiences shape us, but they do not dictate our identity. Instead of viewing failure as a determinant of our worth, it is far better for us to view failure as a teacher. Even more importantly, we must remember that it is our willingness to risk failure that enables us to grow. Life is a process of trial and error. Sometimes we get things right the first time, and sometimes we don’t. But instead of being impeded by the fear of falling short, we ought to learn to value our failed attempts, for they can often teach us twice as much as our successful ones. So remember, my dear friends, failure is not something to be feared. What we perceive as a failure may very well turn out to be an invaluable lesson.

Gateau Basque Gâteau Basque is a cake from the French region of Basque Country, bordering Spain. If you love cake and pie, then this is a match made in heaven. The cake itself is so buttery that it has a nice crispness on the top, with custard sandwiched on the inside. Traditionally there are a couple variations, with a popular version including cherry preserves on the inside, but this one has a vanilla pastry cream with a hint of lemon. As my friends know, I have a small obsession with making French pastries, and I think that this is one of the best ones out there! While there are several steps, it’s far less complex than, say, croissants, macarons, or my ultimate favourite, the Saint-Honoré. Give yourself some time to make it and it will make a wonderful treat for you and your friends! Ingredients A) Custard Part 1 -3 large egg yolks -40g brown sugar (1/4 cup) -1 tbsp cornstarch -1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 scraped vanilla bean if you’re feeling fancy) Part 2 -300ml milk (1.25 cups) -20g brown sugar (1.5 tablespoons) -20g semolina #2 or cornmeal (1.2 tablespoons)—I found the semolina at Walmart so I’m sure it will be in any grocery store. Semolina is also great for making pasta or on pizza crusts. -Zest of 1 lemon (optional, but delicious) Part 3 -80ml heavy cream boiled (1/3 cup) B) Cake Part 1 -250g unsalted butter (1 cup) at room temperature -1 tsp salt -160g brown sugar (1 cup) -1 tsp vanilla extract -125g ground almond meal (1.1 cups—let’s say just barely over 1 cup) Part 2 -3 large eggs at room temperature Part 3 -280g all purpose flour (2.1 cups) -1 tsp baking powder (mix with flour) C) Egg Wash 1 egg yolk mixed with a couple drops of water and a small pinch of salt Tools: -9 inch round cake pan (straight edge or tilted edge works) -2 piping bags with a ½ inch piping tip (such as Wilton #12). A plastic bag with a half-inch opening cut in one corner works too, whatever works for you. -Whisk -Saucepan
-Stand/hand mixer (muscle power works just as well though!) -Plastic wrap -Parchment paper -Pastry brush Procedure A) Custard This step is best done the day before baking the cake. I would do it either in the morning or in the afternoon so the next step can be done in the evening. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients from Part 1 of the custard ingredients and whisk until it gets slightly paler in colour—about a minute or two. In a saucepan over medium heat (around 4 on the oven that I use), combine all ingredients from Part 2 of the custard recipe. Heat while mixing until it simmers (small bubbles but not a hard boil). Once it comes to a simmer, take the saucepan and pour a small portion of it over Part 1 (whisked egg mixture)—maybe 1/8 of mixture or so. As soon as you do this start whisking it into the mixture. The purpose of this is to temper the mixture. It allows you to combine the hot milk mixture to the egg without scrambling the egg. Continue by pouring the milk mixture over in 3 or 4 goes, whisking until combined in between each pour. Pour this whole mixture back into the saucepan and return to the same heat source. Whisk vigorously until it forms a thick pudding-like mixture. Be careful not to leave it on so long or without whisking that it starts scrambling the egg. At this point, remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in Part 3 (boiling heavy cream). It would be best not to pour in cold heavy cream as it may shock the hot custard. Pour into a clean mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap (put the plastic wrap directly on the top of the custard to avoid it developing a film from air exposure). Put in the fridge to cool. B) Cake Add all ingredients from Part 1 of cake ingredients into a mixing bowl/stand mixer. Cream these together until they are fluffy. Make sure that the butter is at room temp (doesn’t feel cold and when you stick your finger on it, it easily leaves an indent). This way it’s easy to cream and doesn’t take forever. This will take about 3 minutes on high speed with an electronic mixer. Next add Part 2 by adding one egg at a time, just incorporating into the dough and then doing the next. Finally, add in Part 3, mixing on low speed until just all incorporated. Assembly Put the cake mixture into a piping bag fitted with a piping tip, as directed in the Tools section. Take the custard out of the fridge and put into a second piping bag with a ½ inch tip on it as well. Set both to the side. Now grease the cake pan with butter or aerosol cooking spray and cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the cake pan. Grease or spray the top of the paper. Now back to the cake batter—take the piping bag and pipe a layer of batter onto the bottom of the cake pan in a circular motion, moving around the edges of the pan first, then moving into the centre so that it covers the bottom of the pan. Now pipe a circle on top of the bottom batter around the perimeter so that when we pipe the custard, there is a batter seal around the outside of the cake. Take your piping bag with custard and pipe a layer similarly to the bottom layer of crust, but inside of the confines of the batter circle. This will be the filling. Now, with the
rest of the batter, pipe a layer on top of all of this to enclose the whole thing. Place plastic wrap on top of this and smooth out the top to erase any of the unevenness from the piping. Place in the fridge. I would do this overnight, or for any section of time long enough for it to be firm. When it is very firm, preheat the oven to 350 F and take the cake out of the fridge. Brush it twice with Section C—the egg wash. To make it pretty, use a fork to create a design on top by dragging the fork on the surface (do this somewhat lightly—you’re not looking to kill it). I did it in a diamond patterned, tartan-esque pattern like the original recipe suggests (www.brunoskitchen.net/blog/post/basque-cake), but hey—you’re the Pablo Picasso of your Basque Gâteau, so you do you. Bake for 45-50 minutes, at which point it should be golden on the top and deeply golden around the edges. Let cool for 20 minutes before you place a board or large platter on top while flipping the pan upside down. Flip onto your serving platter/board and enjoy!

CSA Report: The CSA’s yearly budget is approximately $60,000, but they only foresee spending slightly over 83% of it. Although this seems like a lot, the CSA contributes monetarily to many things. They invest in the societies, clubs, yearbooks, events, athletics, Student Success Center, Student Center, Sóma, specific student needs, etc. They once even purchased a winter jacket for an international student who had been ill-prepared for winter. For those costcurious readers, this is how some of the funds have been allocated: $10,000 to the various societies and clubs, $4,500 to yearbooks, $2,500 to events, and $500 to Sóma.

Take Heart “He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,
and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-31 (ESV) Over the last several weeks I have been feeling like doing approximately nothing. It seems that most of my fellow grads are feeling this too. We have deemed it “senioritis” (and according to google it is a thing). The problem with such an affliction is that we still all have a lot to do before we graduate. We have classes, papers, and volunteer work that all still has to get done. I have been trying so hard to figure out a way to motivate myself. I have been searching for a way to get myself into gear, but I am failing miserably. But I think I have figured out my problem. I have been relying on my own strength. I have been relying on my broken, tired, and lazy self rather than the allpowerful and mighty God that I can call upon. I know, cheesy, right? But it’s true. So today, sons and daughters of the King, if you are struggling to get things done, if you just don’t want to, stop relying on yourself. Take time today to meditate on this passage from Isaiah. God is strong. God will help us along. God can and will renew us in ways that nothing else and no one else can. My prayer today is this: Father, thank you for your Holy Spirit. Thank you for Crandall and the opportunity I have to go here, to learn, and to dedicate my time here to you. Lord, I ask for you to renew my spirit, to strengthen me and uplift me. I ask you to fill me with the strength and determination I need to finish my work strong every day. In Jesus name, Amen. Much love, Taylor Craig

Spicy Crandall Memes:
Sweat it, Shred it, Best it: Learning How to Best Yourself The most common assertions I hear from those who wish to develop a consistent fitness routine are, “I do not have the time,” “I do not know what I am doing,” and “I do not know where to start.” These are normal assertions any avid gym -goer has once felt. Developing an active lifestyle takes time, effort, and dedication. In order to help you develop a manageable gym schedule and consistency, I want to inspire you with a few preliminary tips to develop an active lifestyle. To begin, the first question I have for you is: how can you best yourself? The most important thing to recognize when you begin exercising regularly is that you are CAPABLE of achieving any goal you set for yourself. It may be difficult at times and require hard work, but it is made possible by strength and dedication. The benefits of an active lifestyle can be felt throughout all areas of your life; thus, making exercise a priority will benefit your body and mind. Firstly, when you take time to plan your week, schedule and plan your workouts at the same time. Consistency and effort are keys to developing a fitness routine you will want to follow. Balance your social life, schoolwork, and everything else while making time for your workouts. It is said by many that once you schedule your workouts, you are more likely to do them. It will eventually become routine to exercise. Your body craves movement, so get up and get active! Begin your gym routine by keeping it simple. Cardio and a small amount of strength training is a great way to introduce you to the workout possibilities your gym can provide. I began by learning how to run, yet now I focus on weight lifting. I still maintain my cardio through HIT workouts, but weight lifting has become my focus. I did not learn how to lift in a few workouts; it was a process of research and gaining confidence to make my way to the squat rack. I started small with what I knew and eventually grew from there. Start where you are comfortable – that is the biggest preliminary tip I can provide. More tips and tricks will be coming in the next Beacon! Stay tuned!

One of the things I love about Soma is that it’s student-led. To us, this means it’s a way for students to take the lead in worship music, speaking, hospitality, and tech ministry without the pressure to get it all right the first time. I love this about Soma because it means our team gets to try all kinds of new and interesting things, like moving preservice coffee into the Great Hall or making you all pray with each other (hehe). But ultimately, whatever we do, it’s all so that we can glorify God together. The Soma team is thinking hard about new things we could try that will help you grow in your love for others and your faith in God. One of the ways we’re trying to do that is through putting more of an emphasis on receiving prayer and praying for others. We encourage you to come out to our Soma services this semester for prayer. We want to be a family that worships together, prays for one another, and supports one another. If you have any suggestions for our Soma Team, email us at mysomachurch@gmail.com or send me a Facebook message. Let’s worship God together! Jessie

Dystopia Now
Oh-Wah-Ah-Ah-Ah! Get Down With the Sickness
Like many of my peers, I spent the last couple weeks fighting off a nasty cold. I hate being sick, but catching the occasional cold is an inevitability of being a student. During those times of misery, it’s tempting to sleep in, skip class, and miss work; but as I’ve come to learn, it’s better to suck it up and do it anyway. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve dodged commitments due to illness. It’s true—sometimes my motivation goes down the toilet. But I can say with certainty that every time I’ve forced my germridden self to get out of bed to go to school, work, or any other place I was expected to be, I never regretted it. Let me be your dad for a second: “Wake up and come out of that hovel you call a bedroom. It’s time for class! The world doesn’t stop when baby gets a sniffle. So take your vitamins, comb your hair, and face the day with a Kleenex stuffed up your nose.” What dear ol’ dad is trying to tell you is that life is an uphill battle. Conditions will never be optimal and we’re expected to adapt to the adversity of everyday life. So when you catch the next Crandall plague, instead of taking that as an excuse to log out of life for a few days, view it as an opportunity for growth and self-discipline. Don’t disappoint your old man, and be the best person you can be—even when you feel like a turd. Christian Arsenault is a fourth-year English/Education major.

Critic’s Corner *Thor: Ragnarok Official Trailer Review - Spoiler Alert in Effect*
-Deney: The long awaited third installment of the Thor franchise is almost here! After four years of agonizing anticipation, I finally get to see Loki’s face again. That’s all I care about... *sighs* -Frannie: I agree, and see him we did! But before Loki made an appearance, we were introduced to a short haired Thor, whose new armour and helmet are strikingly similar to that of his comic book persona. It’s very different from his past looks. Way to sneak that in there, Marvel! -True! It also seems that Thor goes on a journey of self-discovery to an unidentified planet where he meets gladiator Hulk. Let me just say, Hulk is sporting a real snazzy looking plume on his head. Wonder who he stole it from… -We learn that Hela, the goddess of death, has invaded Asgard. She appears to be the main antagonist of this edition, and, funnily enough, several biblical references are made by her throughout the course of the trailer. The first being, “Asgard is dead and will be reborn in my image,” the second being a bush on fire. Yeaaah…I’m kind of grasping at straws on that last one. -Continuing on the topic of headwear, Death Chick (Hela) has got a spider on her head. I mean, it’s obviously not a real spider, but whatever’s perched on her head is making my arachnophobia act up! And there is a noticeable absence of the infamous horned helmet on Loki’s perfect locks as well. Speaking of Loki, when he makes his first appearance, he’s in chains again. Did they figure out that he was impersonating Odin, or…?
-Ooooh, Jeff Goldblum is in this! How to make any movie better? Add Jeff Goldblum. -And BAM! There we go. An obligatory shirtless Chris Hemsworth makes an appearance. Shoot me in the foot… I’ll never understand why people think he’s attractive. -When do we get a shirtless Jeff Goldblum? Like, I mean, come on people! Look at him! Ultimately, we both think that Marvel may need to step up their game considering they appear to be borrowing material from a plethora of other sources, including: Star Wars-esque cities, Stranger Things fonts, and an overall Guardians of the Galaxy vibe… it’s gotten so bad that they even have to steal from themselves. -Regardless of the trilogy’s faults and past disappointments, the Ragnarok trailer was pretty sweet and we are anticipating its arrival in theatres. Keep November the third available on your calendars because this movie is going to be sick as frick! Deney Taylor is a second-year business student focusing in accounting.

Keeping Up With the CSA: Hey everyone, I am pleased to report that all the clubs have been ratified AND our CSA family is complete. On Thursday, October 12th we ratified 4 societies (Biblical Studies, English, Sociology, Psychology, Biology) and one club (Boxing). We also welcomed Jerrica Naugler as the Off Campus Liaison. She seems pretty stoked to be able to join in making everyone’s Crandall experience better, and we are happy to have her join us! So far our first two meetings of the year have been productive! It’s great to work with other students who might not otherwise interact with each other and bring together ideas and perspectives to help fulfill our purpose as a CSA. Ok, so we have some events that you need to be aware of! October’s event is pumpkin carving on the 31st. We will have pumpkins already cleaned out for you very creative people to come and design and carve with a friend or two or three. We will judge the pumpkins and present them at supper and pronounce a winner. We will be around after chapel on the Tuesday to give more details. The Christmas Banquet is on November 24th. There will be more details to follow when we are closer to the date, so keep your eyes open for posters and ears open for announcements! Finally, I have been hanging out in the CSA office, as I trust the other exec have been, and I would love some company any time you are walking by and want to chat or ask some questions! Nigel Butterfield is a 3rd year Business Administration :Management & Theology major. I like to think I have a wide variety of interests from sustainable agriculture and earth rejuvenation ,to theology, to business'y stuff, to really understanding how we live out the new life God promises... So I'd love to talk some time!
Interview with Dean Tim Milner Can you give the abbreviated version of your academic history? In 1996, I started at Prairie Bible College; I got my BA in Bible & Theology from there, as well as a minor in music. Then I went and did my Master of Arts at Liberty University. What is your home life like? Our home life is frantically busy, just because we have 3 kids who are very involved in sports and drama. We think of our home as like a hub, and the wheel goes around from there, different spokes, different places, different times, but we’re always on the go. How long have you been at Crandall?

Crandall Poll: Emojis “Bilingualism”. That’s a weighty word carrying myriad connotations for New Brunswickers, but really, whether you can speak French, Spanish, German, Klingon, Elvish, or can only speak English, take a closer look at your conversations with people. Especially look at the ones you have online. Are you sure you only speak one language? Or, if you pride yourself on the work you’ve put in to be able to communicate with so many different humans in the world using this funny vocalizing thing; or perhaps, like me, your ability to speak to fictional creatures (because that’s just so useful); I’d like to suggest that you missed one language. Complete this checklist for me:
time, I’d say this meme rings true:
Are you literate? (It’s a valid question. Almost 20% of NB adults have below-average literacy skills, some studies suggest that number is even higher.) Do you use social media on a regular, or even occasional, basis?
Speaking of deadpan, this one came in second: I especially appreciate one respondent’s explanation for choosing this emoji: “I feel that these expressions are an accurate representation of my feelings towards situations and people in general. If my face showed my true feelings, it would be this emoji.” Couldn’t have said it better myself, respondent #7, and very relatable indeed. Let’s meet up sometime so we can be indifferent/look disappointed at the world together.
Given that the answer to the first question must be yes if you’re reading this article, if you checked the second one off, congratulations! You are bilingual! And what’s that second language? Emojis. Yes, those cute little faces that allow those of us with pathetically low EQs to communicate and understand emotions. Some even say that without emojis, we wouldn’t be able to properly feign social interaction while actually just hiding behind our techy screens, but since I don’t want to imagine a world where I’m forced to talk to people, let’s not go there. So, what are Crandallians using this word-less language for? This month’s poll was “What is your favourite emoji/emoticon”, and nearly 40% of respondents chose It’s a funny world we live in, eh folks? However, I don’t know of many people who actually laugh out loud every time they use this emoji, let alone cry from laughter. In fact, most of the
