The reason behind the death of a female student of the Chilaw Ananda National College who died during the Marathon event at the School Sports Meet has been revealed.
The post mortem revealed that the death was caused due to a dislocation of the coronary arteries.
Director of the Chillaw District Hospital Dr. Dinusha Jayasinghe speaking regarding the death expressed these views.
The Grade 12 student of the Chillaw Ananda National School was admitted to the Chillaw Hospital after falling sick during the marathon event but was pronounced dead at the time of admission to hospital.
However, the Principal of the Chillaw Ananda National School stated that the school had acted in accordance with the circulars issued by the Ministry of Education before letting students participating in the event.

Head Start Advocates Say Funding Plan Favors Program Growth
Over Quality By Deborah L. Cohen
Washington--The Department of Health and Human Services' emphasis on expanding the Head Start program to serve more children will make it difficult for local grantees to maintain or improve the quality of current services, Head Start advocates charged last week.
At a news conference organized by the National Head Start Association here, advocates argued that, by not allocating funds for across-the-board cost-of-living increases, h.h.s. is sidestepping the Congress's intent to bolster the quality of local programs.
When the 25-year-old Head Start program was reauthorized last year, the Congress mandated that the program serve all eligible preschoolers by 1994. But it also ordered that a portion of new funds be used to improve existing services, with at least half that allocation reserved for higher wages and improved employee benefits.
House and Senate authorizing committees stated in their reports that h.h.s. should continue to provide inflation increases, and that the funds for quality improvement "will not replace such increases."
In a March 19 memorandum detailing how new funds are to be allocated to Head Start grantees, h.h.s. did not include inflation increases as a line item in its instructions.
Head Start funding was raised by $399 million in the current fiscal year, to $1.95 billion. In addition to the $195 million for quality improvement and some $45 million for transition projects, parent-child centers, training, and technical assistance, h.h.s. allocated $159 million of the increase to program expansion. Head Start now serves 540,930 children, about 31 percent of the eligible population, according to Congressional estimates.
While voicing support for serving more children, Head Start advocates say h.h.s.'s failure to designate money specifically for cost-of-living increases will force grantees to use funds intended for quality improvement to maintain current services.
Don Bolce, the nhsa's director of government affairs, said the program has "been stretched so far that it is in danger of not being able to provide the level of services Head Start needs."
"Without provisions for cost-of-living increases, local programs will be forced to divert funds intended for quality improvements to offset inflation," said Ron Herndon, president of the National Head Start Directors Association and the director of a Head Start program in Portland, Ore.
He also cited a "long-term disregard for the effect of inflation," reflected in a 13 percent decline in per-child expenditures from 1981 to 1989.
In a letter to hhs Secretary Louis W. Sullivan, Eugenia Boggus, president of the n.h.s.a., also argued that, "without cola increases, Head Start staff will receive only minimal real increases in salaries from the quality reserve, and no new funds will be available ... to meet increased costs such as rent, utilities, postage, telephone, and supplies."
The chairmen of the House and Senate committees and subcommittees that have jurisdiction over Head Start also urged in a letter to Dr. Sullivan last month that such considerations be taken into account.
"We share your goal of extending Head Start services to as many eligible children as possible," the letter said, "but not at the price of diluting the program's overall quality."
Mr. Herndon said h.h.s's plan "seriously undercuts" efforts to improve Head Start teachers' salaries, which averaged $11,859 in 1990, according to the n.h.s.a.
The new aid should be used not only for better wages and benefits, said Helen Blank, director of child care for the Children's Defense Fund, but also to train and hire more staff members to work with a generation of Head Start families plagued by such social ills as drug abuse and homelessness.
In a written response following the news conference, Dr. Sullivan called the nhsa's charges "inaccurate and unwarranted," adding that it is one of the Bush Administration's "top priorities" to maintain the level and quality of Head Start services while expanding the program.
Diverting more funds than those already allocated for salary raises would "eliminate vital opportunities for tens of thousands of more eligible children," Mr. Sullivan said.
While the hhs plan did not call for "across the board" cola's, he said, regional Head Start offices will consider them on a case-by-case basis.
The March 19 hhs memorandum stated that "grantees that can demonstrate that an adjustment in their regular allocation is needed to maintain the level of services provided during the previous year may propose such an adjustment."
Mr. Bolce argued last week that such negotiations "historically have not worked well" for individual grantees when regional officials are "under pressure" to increase the number of children served.
The nhsa last week also called for an in-depth review of Head Start's regional offices, which it said are understaffed and hampered by inadequate support and training, and which sometimes implement policies at odds with those set at the federal level.

Boat Racing is one of the foremost cultural attractions in the beautiful state of Kerala. In God's Own Country, a large number of regattas are organized each year. A large number of people enthusiastically participate in this aquatic event not just as participants but also as viewers. The Aranmula Boat Race is held in Kerala with a great deal of fervor and vigor.
History of the Aranmula Boat Race in Kerala
According to legend, a devotee was once carrying offerings for Lord Krishna. Unfortunately his boat was looted. This broke his heart and in order to give him consolation, God himself appeared before him. He was advised to make larger boats so that they could be rowed by several men and could easily make its way through the water. This is how the snake boats originated. The people of Aranmula even believe that on the day of the race the boat possesses and shares some of the attributes of God.
Description of the Aranmula Boat Race in Kerala
The boat race in Aranmula is held on the River Pampa. A temple dedicated to Lord Krishna and Arjuna is located at Aranmula. The boat race takes place in the vicinity of this Parthasarathy temple. The banks of the Pampa River are overcrowded with people who are keen on witnessing this impressive event.
The small hamlets on the banks of the Pampa Rivers are the contestants of this boat race. But it would be more appropriate to term it as part of festive celebrations rather than as a competition. It is true that that winning does bring a lot of joy to the villagers but there is no fierce rivalry between them.
4 helmsmen, 100 oarsmen and 25 singers are seen in these 100 ft long snake boats or Chundan Vallams. The atmosphere is simply exhilarating when these boats start moving to reach the finishing line. The songs as well as the shouts and cheers fill the air. The joyous excitement of the crowd reaches its high water mark.
It is indeed a visual treat to watch the ornamentally decorated boats racing through the water. They are beautifully adorned with golden laces, colorful flags and opulently decorated umbrellas. The rowers are also dressed in the same attire - spotlessly white dhotis and turbans.
Time for celebrating the Aranmula Boat Race in Kerala
The Aranmula Boat Race begins each year on the last day of the Onam festival. It lasts for two days.

Loans for Grad School Get Pricier
Uncle Sam still has good options for funding a higher degree.
When Rachel Geylin decided to go back to school, the 25-year-old kicked into high gear, working two jobs before enrolling in Yale's School of Nursing in August. "I'm trying to cover as much as I can without loans," she says.
SEE ALSO: 5 Grad Degrees Worth the Debt
Geylin's strategy is timely. As of July 1, graduate and professional students are no longer eligible for need-based, subsidized federal Stafford loans. The loans, still available to undergrads, are one of the best deals around. Interest on subsidized loans does not usually start to accrue until six months after students graduate or leave school; interest on unsubsidized Staffords, still available to grad students, accrues immediately. That difference is enough to add about 6% to the average grad-school debt, says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of Finaid.org (Read more from Kantrowitz about the value – and shortcomings – of colleges' financial-aid calculators here).
There are still federal loans worth exploring. Grad students who can demonstrate exceptional need may borrow up to $8,000 per year in Perkins loans, with a fixed rate of 5%. Unsubsidized Staffords let grad students borrow up to $20,500 per year at 6.8%. Grad PLUS loans, at 7.9%, will cover the remaining cost for students with clean credit histories.
Private student loans come with caveats. You must have pristine credit to nab the lowest rates. And private loans lack the repayment flexibility of federal loans, which give those in need the option of income-based repayment plans or loan forgiveness for public service.

Sweet and Sour Chicken
This dish is a tad healthier than more traditional sweet and sour pork because the meat is boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into chunks. It's deep-fried only for a few seconds, and then finished in the oven with the zesty catsup, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. All in all, expect an easy Chinese sweet and sour chicken recipe that elicits casual comfort for date night. Add some bell peppers or garlic broccoli to round out the meal and make it more vibrant.
Consider this a healthier alternative to sweet and sour pork, made with skinless, boneless chicken breasts quickly deep-fried for flavor and texture before being finished off in the oven with a spunky sauce of apple cider vinegar, ketchup, and soy sauce.... Read More

Following is UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message to the Pacific Regional Seminar on Implementation of the Third International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism: Accelerating Action, in Nadi, Fiji, today:
I am pleased to send greetings to all participants at this regional seminar convened under the auspices of the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonization, or C-24. I thank the Government and people of Fiji for hosting the event.
You meet as we near the midpoint of the United Nations third International Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism. The Special Committee has undertaken important work in recent months, including through the visiting mission to New Caledonia last March with the full cooperation of the administering Power, France.
Other initiatives include Bureau consultations with each of the four administering Powers — France, New Zealand, United Kingdom and the United States — as well as with various other stakeholders. The Special Committee has also improved its methods of work by expanding its Bureau to include a member from the Asia and the Pacific region.
I welcome these innovative measures, which make the C-24 more visible, and more importantly, more active. Our aim is to give greater priority to the decolonization agenda and to spur accelerated action.
I trust that political will, applied on a case-by-case basis, can evolve on all sides to make progress on the decolonization of the 17 Non-Self-Governing Territories still under the purview of the Special Committee. Good intentions will have to be translated into credible action to make the third International Decade a success.
This year's regional seminar on decolonization is a notable effort to facilitate interaction and problem-solving while generating new ideas on the way forward. I wish you great success.

Every morning, 300 children – mostly boys, ages 7 to 15 – gathered at the Great Mosque in Sanaa to memorize the Koran during the summer months. For centuries, different sects have run private religious summer schools in mosques throughout Yemen. Some of these are now threatened by closure.
In a speech last month announcing the end of a four-year war with the Al Houthi rebels in northern Yemen, President Ali Abdullah Saleh inaugurated new, government-sponsored religious summer schools serving up to 172,000 youth.
These new institutions are part of a campaign to create national unity and counteract what Mr. Saleh describes as the extremist ideology taught in unlicensed religious schools. But members of the sects deny extremist leanings and claim that the new summer program is an attempt to weaken opposition parties aligned with particular religious groups.
Yemen is increasingly perceived by the international community as a haven for Islamist jihadis. There have been 20 terrorist attacks in Yemen this year alone.
In a state dominated by tribes, some of which are connected to religious minority sects, government control over regions outside the capital is weak. Saleh has described his relationship with tribes as "a dance with snakes." The summer programs, then, are an attempt to improve Yemen's counterterrorism record.
Under Yemen's education laws, the government began shutting down sectarian schools as early as 1991.
"Extremist groups could be responsible for some summer camps which encourage terrorism," says Hamoud Ubad, minister of youth and sports. "We do not want to give permission to any extremists who would like to plant undesirable ideas ... in the minds of our youth." In response, the government began a program of summer camps three years ago, which this year doubled in number.
Four sects are considered extremist in Yemen, explains Saif al-Asaly, professor of economics at Sanaa University: Sufi, Salafi, the Shiite Al Houthi, and the Islamic Brotherhood, represented by factions within the Islah Party. Although the majority of Yemenis do not formally belong to one of these four sects, Mr. Asaly says, "Yemenis are being affected by their ideas through the sermons they hear at mosques, lectures, and [in] books."
Members of these sects deny any affiliation with extremism. "There are extremists in Yemen, but not from the Islah Party," asserts Amat al-Salaam Rajaa, a party leader. She adds that the summer program is a political maneuver by the president's party to weaken the ability for opposition parties to recruit new members.
The conservative Islah Party, an opposition party, holds 15 percent of seats in parliament. According to political analyst Hani Zainulbhaii, the Al Houthi and Islah Party use summer schools to recruit members. Over the past four years, 50 to 60 camps run by the Al Houthi rebels have been shut down, says Hamoud al-Hittar, minister of endowments and religious guidance. Ten to 15 of these were closed in the past month. The Yemeni press, meanwhile, has reported the closure of 1,000 religious summer camps this year.
Analysts suggest that the president previously allowed religious sects greater freedom because they were willing to fight in the conflict against Al Houthi rebels. Now that there is a break in warfare, the president is bringing these sects back under his secular party's control through antiextremism measures.

Prepare for the Job Fair
by Jo Weech
Here are some tried and true tips for attending job fairs, but first, the burning questions you might be asking yourself:
Inquiring minds want to know. So, I will share what I have learned from both recruiters and job seekers alike.
One purpose for many companies to participate in job fairs is name recognition/branding. Job fairs assist with being able to connect brand and culture with interested candidates. It isn't often that a candidate walks in and is a perfect fit for an open position. So, why do recruiters go? It is a wonderful opportunity to meet great folks who may not fit a particular position at this point in time, but who is worth keeping in touch with and fostering a relationship. For me, it is about making friends. I work in a small-knit community.
Some suggestions:
Here is the twist. I am a firm believer of the pay-it-forward, kharma, give of yourself way of living. Strike up conversations with other job seekers while you are waiting. It can start out as a simple, "Hey, have you used Wordle or Word It Out? I have found that it helps me to know which synonyms to use on my resume so it makes it past the Applicant Tracking System." Share a tip! Ask the other person what industry they are in and what sort of position they are seeking. Ask for their target companies. Know anyone you can refer them to? Maybe you know recruiting companies that are sourcing for someone like them. Offer to get them connected. What if you go through the whole fair and have only been giving out great info and no one has offered anything to you? It is still okay! You may have inspired others to do the same at the next job fair, and you could then be the recipient of new tips and connections!

"Back in Colorado"
Saturday, December 8th, 2012 at 3:29 am | Blog
It is almost that time of year again. Yup that is right Christmas is just around the corner yet again. I hope that everyone is looking forward to Christmas and the New Year and more importantly that you all get to take some time out to enjoy a break after the end of another year of hard work. It looks like it could be a white one if you are on the mountain tops after seeing 15cm of snow at Cardrona there looks like there is currently more snow at home than here in Colorado. Though it is currently snowing for the first time in almost a month as you can see by the picture.
It sure has been some time since my last update. I think it was back in June when I got back on Snow at Cardrona, so here goes. I will try to keep it short and sharp.
My Kiwi Winter down at Cardrona was yet another great season for me. It seemed to be a better season than last; it seemed there was a lot more snow up higher I guess due to the higher freezing levels. Great conditions for Training. All conditions from hard to soft.
This last kiwi season for us was a lot about continuing our great progress and momentum from the previous 12 months or so. Seeing what it is that we need to do to keep sniffing ahead of the game. Not much competition at all but some great opportunities for forerunning which made for some awesome Train to race environments. In the way of training on snow I had the most amount of time and days on snow compared to other seasons. My Coach Scott spent almost 3 months in New Zealand with me as we continued to work and train hard as our campaign towards the 2014 Sochi Winter Paralympic games gets more and more intense. Along with all the amazing supporters and Sponsors behind Team Adam Hall we were all able to continue to push our boundaries and continue with our breakthroughs.
"It is a great feeling as an athlete when you continue to get fitter and stronger" and don't have any tweaks or injuries of any kind to make the work load a lot more work than its needs to be. Though through the season I did have a couple of procedures in which I had large amounts of Bladder Stones blasted and removed. This was a huge relief as it can become pretty painful and annoying after a while.
Elitsa and I arrived back in Winter Park, Colorado about a month ago. My 9th season here in Winter Park and the driest of all until it started snowing today.
I have spent a good couple of weeks on snow and feeling pretty good about the season and the progress which lays ahead over the next 15 months leading into the Paralympics. There is a lot of hard work which lies ahead, I know that the whole team and myself we are all very excited heading into the final stages of preparation as these next 15 months will fly by so fast.

"The Bloody Indulgent: A Raunchy Vampire Musical"
Follow this link for more information or visit the Official Website.
After accidentally killing the owner of a strip club, Burt, a hedonistic vampire, takes his friend-turned-vampire, Todd, to his favorite drug dealer for a night of indulgence. Meanwhile, surviving strippers from the club plot Burt's destruction.
What can I say, I thoroughly enjoyed this trash cinema, indie, musical featuring Backstreet Boy, Kevin Richardson, and Diva Zappa. Filled with utterly ridiculous songs and outrageously silly, overtly sensualized characters, rather in the fashion of a certain famous cult musical. I was fully enthralled in this film within the first 15 minutes.
The plot isn't half bad: local bad boy, Burt (Richardson), who happens to be a vampire, turns his friend Todd into a vampire. Burt is perfectly and cheerfully villainous in his self-indulgent pursuit of pleasure. At the strip club Todd's girlfriend, Connie (Zappa), works, Burt goes on a blood sucking spree, accidentally killing the club owner, and Todd turns Connie into a vampire. But, Connie goes rather out of control, so Burt calls the Vampire Killer and has her staked. Then, Burt takes Todd to his favorite drug house. (By the way, Todd is convinced that being a vampire makes him Bisexual.) The surviving strippers band together to hire a Vampire Killer to destroy Burt by having a "strip off." And, there is a small sub plot where Connie gets turned into a zombie after she is staked.
I was disappointed that with the budget they didn't invest in better production equipment, however, where they did invest was worth it. Beautiful costuming, make up, and lots of blood. Many scenes are beautifully and artistically done. Some scenes, though the shots, lighting, angles, and talent were there, the lower quality equipment was all the more evident. (This is not something that usually stands out to me.)
I would be hesitant to recommend this to most people. But I know a few of you, dear readers, would enjoy this as much as I did. Especially if you have questionable taste. I gave this 3 Bloody Mary's because it was a bloody good time.

As the son of an early English motorcycle manufacturer, George Brough branched out on his own after World War I to build what would later be described as "the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles" -- the 1938 Brough Superior SS 100 motorcycle.
Motorcycle Image Gallery
Brough motorcycles were expensive, well-finished machines compiled largely from proprietary components, most notably a 60-cubic-inch J.A.P. V-twin engine.
An early example was called the SS 80, so named for its guaranteed top speed of 80 mph. Switching from flathead to overhead-valve engines brought the SS 100 in 1924.
Though smaller V-twins and even a four-cylinder sidecar model with an Austin automotive drivetrain were offered, the company's legacy lies with its big V-twins.
The exemplary engineering and construction for which Brough Superiors were famous can be seen in this example's leading-link front suspension with driver-adjustable damping, nickel-plated side panels on the fuel tank, foot-operated gearshift, contoured saddlebags, and plunger rear suspension.
Though renowned primarily for their fine craftsmanship, Brough Superiors also held many speed records during the 1920s and '30s, culminating in a 1937 run of nearly 170 mph on -- of course -- a modified version.
In the annals of motorcycle history, Brough Superior will always be aligned with famed military figure and writer T.E. Lawrence -- Lawrence of Arabia. Being a personal friend of George Brough, Lawrence owned several Brough Superiors, and sadly, died on one.

2016 Joel Gott Santa Barbara Pinot Noir
Tasting NotesWinegrowing NotesHARVEST NotesWINEMAKING NotesTech Notes
A complex wine with soft tannins and a velvety texture, our 2016 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir opens with aromas of Rainier cherry, pomegranate, strawberry and ground cloves. Bright acidity frames the mid-palate, balanced by red fruit flavors and spice and a long, elegant finish.
We sourced the fruit for this wine from Santa Barbara County, because of its ideal conditions for growing elegant Pinot Noir with nuanced flavors. Vineyards closest to the coast in the Central Coast AVA experience cool, foggy mornings and warmer afternoons, bringing out well-developed fruit flavors and balanced acidity in the grapes. Fruit from vineyards in Sta. Rita Hills add spice and minerality to the wine. Santa Maria Valley experiences a cold and windy climate, delivering smaller yields, giving the wine its structure and tannins.
The 2016 growing season in Santa Barbara County was characterized by a warm spring and summer, with moderate temperatures leading up to harvest. The grapes were harvested ahead of the late September heatwave, preserving their delicate fruit flavors and crisp acidity. The vintage brought healthy canopies around the grape clusters, excellent color in the fruit and strong yields.
After fermentation, the wine was aged in 50% new French oak and 50% 1 & 2-Year-Old French oak.

Happy New Year friends! There's a lot of cosmic activity that has already kickstarted 2016… Have you felt it yet? Life seems to be moving in a few different directions already – all at once. With all that has started shifting, not much is making sense – so my only concern at this moment has been… 'at the end of the day, what do I really NEED that will guide me back to where I'm going'?
If I asked you this question, what would YOUR answer be? I gave myself a minute to ponder my own question; understanding that I'm basically a pretty simple person, who doesn't need a lot. As a gypsy soul at heart, living lightly, lets me come and go as I please. I seek the art and inner wisdom of 'the experience' – whether beautiful or revolting – because it all just tells a story. As I think about it more, this pretty much sums up what is considered my 'boring' instagram of nature images from the yard… but each sunrise, every moon beam, and each swaying tree under the clouds shared a story. That's a lot to me, and it's truly enough. So to answer my own question for this survival quest – I only need the experience. What about YOU?
Mercury (thoughts, communications) moved out from strengthening Capricorn, and into liberating Aquarius on Friday January 1. This is a brilliant time to break away from unproductive attachments and unhealthy patterns – by thinking outside of the box. And while change is not easy – shifting goals, changing direction or adjusting the view – can be quite interesting, as well as a strange method in helping us to find what we're looking for.
If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Wayne Dyer
Mars (energy, movement) shifted from social Libra on Sunday January 3, and entered into passionate Scorpio. So while we're looking for a different way; we're releasing an intensely powerful force that is buried within – in order to feed what we've been most hungry for.
By changing nothing, nothing changes. Tony Robbins
And shift happens again as Mercury (thoughts, communications) stations retrograde on Tuesday January 5. So before we gaze too deeply into the stars and the future ahead, we're encouraged to pause during the next three weeks – to re-think, re-view and re-correct what we really wanted to say. This can be quite necessary in some situations; to avoid common breakdowns and misunderstandings that are often associated with Mercury retrograde, but also with these impactful vibrations from Mars in Scorpio. With Tuesday's Sun/Pluto conjunction, feisty energy increases – which could lead to the potential of something unsettling or confrontational. Yet in the same breath, if we're aware; something could be unveiled, revealing exactly what we need – to create healing and set us free.
Lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at you. David Brinkley
As life continues to sway 'to and fro' this week, moving forward may not be as easy as we first thought as Jupiter stations retrograde on Thursday January 7. Optimism, expansiveness and abundance are a few of the rich treasures of Jupiter. In retrograde for the next four months; we could decide to practice the art of procrastination with the outer world. In doing so, we create an opportunity to dive into our own inner resources; in search of our own truth. Thursday's Sun/Uranus square promises unique, chaotic challenges – which can point us toward unexpected life changes or our inner guru.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. Terry Pratchett
Mercury (thoughts, communications) re-enters Capricorn on Friday January 8. This can give us a second chance to re-figure, re-strategize or re-structure our view, our approach and where we're headed. If life was to crumble for you, what do you see yourself re-building? With Friday's Venus/Saturn conjunction, we'll be more determined to hold and protect that which matters most to us. And in knowing what holds true value – we can create a magical affirmation that oozes with security and stability for the Capricorn New Moon on Saturday January 9. Tarot insight: Not tending to our calling. [AcePentsRx/PageWandsRx].
Biz update: For the new year (and for the first time, since 2008), I finally made the decision to raise my rates for my intuitive phone and email readings. In appreciation to my wonderful clients, I've also created the Tuesday special so that my old rates could still be enjoyed!

Rusty Savage
Senior Pastor
"God became personal to me on a Friday night in the spring of my 8th grade year. Mom and Dad brought me to church from the start of my life, so God seemed familiar to me all along. Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Children's Church—it was all part of my life. I was 5, or 6 when we had the Jesus talk, I prayed "the prayer" and was baptized. But, by the time I reached adolescence, the understanding of God I had as a 5-year-old was not big enough for my life as a teenager. Christianity was supposed to feel—joyous, free, content. But instead I struggled with guilt, insecurity, and inadequacy. I know—typical teen stuff, but I was a Christian and it was supposed to be different.
I remember praying at the close of a church service. I was telling God that I couldn't figure out how to live the Christian life and I wanted out of our deal.
I don't know how to explain it, except to say that God told me I was right; I couldn't live the Christian life, but that He would live it through me if I would let Him. Galatians 2:20 became a theme verse for my life. It says "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. And the life I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
It was like God gave me permission to be insufficient and promised that He would more than make up the difference for me."
Jason Crum
Church Administration & Adult Ministry
"God became personal to me at a young age as I had the wonderful experience of being raised by Christian parents. In fact, my dad is a pastor and so was my grandfather. So, I was in church basically
from the day I was born and had many faithful people teaching me the Bible week after week, sharing the good news of Jesus and praying for me to accept Christ as my Lord and Savior. When I was 10 years old I became a follower of Christ and even from a young age I could tell that my life had been changed.
In an experience that others have gone through if they accepted Christ at a young age, the gospel of Jesus Christ took on some new and fresh meanings later in my life. Through God's working, I recommitted myself to Him and this experience has changed the direction of my life as I decided to leave the financial industry where I had worked for over a decade and to enter the ministry. We serve a loving and gracious God and I am thankful for his steadfast love and patience in my life. My desire is to
continually grow deeper into the gospel of His Son Jesus Christ and serve Him as best I can."
Mindy Hooks
Volunteer & Compassion Ministries
"From my earliest memory, it seems that I knew God was real. I can remember being in grade school and asking God for help with friendships and scary situations. That type of relationship of asking for what I needed would continue on into my early adult years. But, at 24 years old, I found myself engaged to the love of my life, starting a new job as a practical nurse. I was also expecting a baby in a few months.
Overwhelming emotions of Joy, Fear, Uncertainty and Insecurity caused me to cry out to the Lord continually. I began to feel God's presence, unconditional love, and peace like never before. I developed a hunger to know scripture. My heart was totally changed and a deep faith grew. Psalms 27 in the Amplified Bible speaks best of my relationship with God:
'One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord (in His Presence ) all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty (the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur) of the Lord and to meditate in His temple...I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.'"
Brice Willson
Worship Ministry
"Growing up in church with wonderful parents who saw the importance of giving me a foundational belief in God and salvation, I have always had a sense that God was close. With the struggles of teenage and college years, I came to rely more heavily upon God "bailing me out" of situations that I shouldn't have been in. But it wasn't until my adult years that I really began to more truly believe and feel the closeness of God in my life. He was always my salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, but there was more. Through personal struggles, God showed me that I am always forgiven in His eyes and that I am redeemable no matter what.
More than anything, I have experienced the closeness of God through the people in my life. It's in forgiveness from another, a hug, words of confirmation, friendship, love, a really important talk, a sermon, through my kids, through my wife, and sometimes from someone I don't expect. With the birth of my two sons I have experienced a personal God first hand. As personal as I am with my wife and children, is the same way God loves me! And through the intricacies of God's creation, He shows us how much He cares and provides for us! My decision to leave my profession as an educator of 11 years to become Worship Pastor of First Baptist was a direct result of a personal God who gives guidance, reassurance, and peace to my life."
Amanda Keith
Family & Community Ministries
"God started to become personal to me when I was in junior high. I had a friend who was struggling with depression and would often call me in tears, feeling as if taking her life was the only way out. I felt so powerless to help her. The only thing I knew to do was to ask God to be near her and rescue her.
In January of 2012, my dad passed away unexpectedly and my whole world changed. Deep grief began to characterize my life and everything felt heavy. However, the bitterness of loss also brought a sweet time of feeling Jesus with me, speaking to me and giving me hope. It is safe to say God had never felt more personal as he brought me to a deeper place in my relationship with Him. I needed Him to get through each day.
As life began to feel easier, we found ourselves diving into foster care. It is both the most meaningful and most difficult thing we have ever done. And yet, it allows me to know God in a way I never did before. In all of these things, I am so comforted to know He is there when my heart is hurting. It is the place I find a personal God, who sees my burdens and does the heavy lifting for me."
Jack Wilson
Senior Adult Ministry
"God became personal to me when I was ten years old. My grandmother watched my brother, sister and me while mom and dad were at work and in the summers. Her church was just next door, so we spent a lot of time hearing about God. I remember standing in her kitchen praying the Lord's Prayer and reciting the 23rd Psalm before heading off to school. Her faith was so matter of fact that we assumed that everyone knew Christ.
It was in February 1963, while at church with her, that I knelt down at her pew and prayed for Christ to save me. She was right there beside me, praying and asking God for strength. Later that year while at VBS, I was baptized.
Like so many of my generation, life soon happened and my walk was not providing the best picture of Christ. But God who is never far from His children (since He never leaves us) would not let go of me. When I was fifteen, He brought a pastor into the life of my family and once again God became personal to me in a mighty way. In fact, over the decades since that encounter, God has shown himself to be very interested in my life. He has brought other men and women of faith into my life to help guide and pray for me.
If you ever wonder if God is personal, or if you think you can't be personal with Him, take His words to heart. Proverbs 3:5-6 says 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths'. God has a plan for your life. And that is very personal indeed."
Ethan McLean
Student Ministries Director
I grew up in church as a child attending Sunday School, Royal Rangers and camps with local churches throughout my elementary and junior high years. But when I got into high school, the faith I had built wasn't strong enough to guide my teenage decisions. When senior year came, Jesus shook my world. God showed me that I couldn't do things on my own and that I was in desperate need of a Savior.
Sometimes God gives gentle nudges as a reminder of His grace and love, but I needed to be knocked off my feet. After some difficult days, God faithfully placed some godly young men in my life connected to FBC who helped spur my faith on by being present and loyal in my time of need. During this time, I could see the hand of Jesus throughout my life orchestrating every move.
Hebrews 6:19 has been a verse that helps hold my heart in those dark times and in times of triumph, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
All of my stress, my downfalls and my failures don't define or confine me. My soul has been redeemed and my hope is in the one who conquered sin.
I spent nearly 7 years teaching and coaching at both the junior high and high school setting and volunteering with the FBC youth ministry. I always found myself working with youth in many various ways, and I knew that's where God was consistently leading me, but I did not have a clear vision of what exactly I was supposed to be doing until the opportunity to step into the role of ministry arose. I love Jesus, our youth, this community and I want to see it grow for the Kingdom!

Just so we can get a mild taste
for what we are dealing with here,
allow me to offend you if I can.
- Baptismis meaningless.
- Communionis silly.
- Confessionand Absolution
are an empty gesture.
- Saying the Rosaryis blowing smoke.
- Being Born Againsimply frivolous.
- Going to Church on Sunday–
no redeeming value.
- Being an Episcopalian, or any kind of Christian,
is as meaningful as the difference between Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat.
Now, we need to give equal time to Civil Religion.
- Saying the Pledge is a waste of breath.
- The Oath of Citizenshipa yawn.
- Your political party a big zero.
- Family name?As meaningful as an un-addressed envelope.
- College degree, social pedigree, profession or trade–
just so much information on a grave stone.
If your sensibilities were offended
by even one of those icon-busters
it was only a mild taste
of the flagrant insult
that Jesus represented to his contemporaries.
He was often a very offensive guy,
but still we call him "our boy"
as if he would not offend us too.
Whoever put our Lectionary of Scripture readings together,
did so with the idea of setting up a false contrast today.
By placing this incredibly complex story
from the Gospel of Mark
right next to the prohibition in Deuteronomy –
the one against
adding or taking away fromthe Law–
would have us dismiss the tension
between Jesus and his fellow Jews
as a simple case of traditions and ritual versus Torah.
(Torah being the constitution of original Law).
But it is not that simple
and it is not about ritual versus laws.
There arethreestrong voices
whispering to us
from the Gospel of Mark.
To identify them, and listen to them
as they scratch through two-thousand year old pages,
is to suddenly know something new
about Jesus and about ourselves.
Please bear with me,
this is not about a 2000-year-old argument;
at the end it is about you and me.
The first voice we hear
is from the Pharisees,
the next voice to speak
is from the Greek-speaking Jewish Christians from the early Church,
and the last voice is presumably
Jesus himself.
The Pharisees were the liberals of their day.
Put aside all the New Testament propaganda
we have heard about the Pharisees being legalistic–
that is just 1st Century name-calling.
Jesus may well have been a Pharisee himself.
In fact, Episcopalians are definitely
the modern-day equivalent of Pharisees.
Let me put it in the religious language
of the Reformation.
Anglicans and Roman Catholics
disagree with Protestants in general,
and Fundamentalists in particular,
about the status of Scripture.
The Protestant view is that Scripture
all by itself
tells us all we need to know,
or can know, about God.
But Episcopalians, Roman Catholics,
and Orthodox
claim that the written words of Scripture
must be interpreted – they do not speak
clearly without context, history,
and the traditions of the church
that have grown up around them.
Not only must the words of the Bible
but also the whole history of that interpretation
as represented by our traditions and doctrines
must be utilized in discerning
the meaning of Scripture.
Then, as Episcopalians, we claim
Scripture must be adjudicated
with reason and experience as well as tradition.
It is what distinguishes us most significantly.
That is basically the argument the Pharisees
had with their more conservative contemporaries.
The Pharisees claimed
there were two sources of authority to be considered:
Written Torahand Oral Torah–
that is, the Law of Moses AND
the traditions and interpretations
that flowed from the law.
Lest we think this is some silly and ancient
religious quarrel,
it is pretty much the political debate that rages
between liberals and conservatives
about the United States Constitution.
Legal arguments about abortion,
the death penalty, and the right to privacy
seem often to revolve around this tension
between written law, its original intent,
and the history of its interpretation.
So, in the Gospel of Mark,
the voice of the Pharisees is represented
by those concerned with preserving
the Traditions of the elders– meaning
the Oral law that is rooted in the Written law.
Their argument goes like this:
In a polytheistic world,
one in which Jewish identity
is taking a beating at every social boundary,
ourtraditions sustain our solidarity and identity.
With their national identity flattened
by Roman military colonialization,
and an influx of people from far away places
that had nothing but disdain for them,
the traditions of the elders,
such as ritual hand washing,
was a reminder that they were a holy nation
and a light to the world.
The Traditions – meaning the Oral Law –
set them aside as a people
and made them holy,
which was Israel's very reason for being.
So, Jesus, how come your students do not exhibit this concern for holiness?
The Pharisee's concern was not so unreasonable.
Their argument was perfectly understandable
and we hear the same sentiments today –
even feel that tension ourselves sometimes.
Now the second voice we hear in this story,
and more briefly I might add,
is from the Greek-speaking Jewish Christians
who come along some 25 years later
and get their concerns
edited into the text of Mark.
"You abandon the commandments of God
and holdonto human tradition!"
That is their response to the Pharisee assertion
about the primacy of Oral Law.
The Greek-speaking Jews
who joined the Jesus-movement
afterthe death of Jesus,
as a result of his disciples spreading out
across the rim of the Mediterranean,
were often more conservative than the Pharisees.
They wanted to go back to Written Torah
and get away from all the rituals,
traditions, and interpretations
that had grown up around it.
They are the Martin Luther's and John Calvin's
who railed against the power and corruption
of the establishment hierarchy,
picturing it as a wall of barnacles
around the sacred text.
"Back to Basics!" they campaigned.
The third voice we hear is Jesus himself –
at least as far as we can decipher.
The voice of Jesus
comes through loud and clear in his famous proverb:
"Listen! It is not what goes into a person
fromthe outside
that can defile; rather
it is whatcomes out of the person that defiles."
In other words:
Don't get uptight
because my disciples do not washtheir hands.
Holiness is not breached
by the abandonment of ritual.
Our holiness as a people,
Jesus might have added,
is breached byevil actions
that arise from evil intent.
Cleanse the heart and mind, he would say,
and we will be holy.
So, like Episcopalians
the Pharisees were
making a case for the authority
of theirtraditions and rituals.
The Greek-speaking Jewish Christians,
like the original Protestant reformers,
were fighting the corruption of a powerful caste
of religious authorities and insisting
on the purity and limits of the written law.
But Jesus?
His was an insistence upon radical obedience
to the intentof the Law –
obedience to the intent of the Law.
To Jesus,
the actual written word,
and the traditions and rituals that grew up
around written Torah,
were neither good nor bad in and of themselves.
Holiness, he asserted,
has to do with changing the intentions of the heart
and the evil actions that may flow from it.
So here is the punchline:
If you want to be a holy nation,
one that is set apart
while still in the midst of the world,
then do what it takes
to transform your hearts and minds
so that your actions reflect that change.
To Jesus, anything less than this
is trivial at best,
and a phony hypocrisy at worst.
So what does this mean for us in 2018?
I am going to resist my temptation
to wander into the political discourse of the moment,
and point instead,
toward the impact of Jesus' words
on what kind of spiritual community
and spiritual practice we aim toward.
Does our worship,
this thing we do and the Communion we receive,
nurture and challenge us
with an inward transformation?
If so, fine, then do it, Jesus might say.
But if all it is does is sustain complacency
and a false sense of holiness, then stop it.
Just don't do it.
Does Baptism, and baptismal ministry,
help transform our hearts and minds,
so that we develop and nurture a community of
change agents that embody the love of God?
If so, great, keep doing it.
But if all it does is create
a sense that we are spiritually superior
and differentiated
from those who are not baptized,
then cease and desist immediately.
No matter what it is we do and are a part of,
or think worthy and valuable;
no matter what loyalty, label, tribe,
race, nationality, or sexuality
to which we claim membership and allegiance;
no matter what it is
or who we are, the criteria is clear:
Does is assist and nurture
the transformation of our hearts and minds
away from hatred,
away from resentments,
away from cruelty?
If not, then stop it, leave it, let it go.
Does it assist and nurture
the transformation of our hearts and minds
toward loving-kindness,
and toward a passion for equity,
and toward a hope of peace?
Then do it,
and do it with all your heart,
and all your strength,
and all your mind.
