I remember the days when a few of our dedicated students from my English 127 (Creative Writing) class would sit around a table and, with sta- plers and freshly typed pages of poems and stories, assemble as many copies as they could with money raised from either a co-op effort or fundraisers. But what has always remained constant are the varied voices of East Los that find a home between the covers—some pass though our doors once and move on with their lives while oth- ers return like Luis J. Rodriguez, who in his book, The Republic of East L.A., acknowl- edges Milestone as one of the publications that gave voice to his early work. At a read- ing here last year, I proudly asked if he would write a blurb for our next issue; instead, he handed me the pages of the two new poems he had just read and simply said,“You can have these.” Like many other poets and writers who began their creative lives like our stu- dents—by finding a place such as an East L.A. magazine to respect and honor their community of voices that echo the streets they walk every day, the concerns of family, friends, love, identity,as well as the social/cultural issues, and more recently,the war— Rodriguez, along with Gary Soto, Helena Maria Viramontes, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Denise Chavez, Graciela Limon, to name a few—is one of the many honored voices that give our emerging writers a vision beyond the borders of our campus, hence the title of this year’s issue, Milestone: The Voices of East Los and Beyond. And, indeed, it is a milestone not only for the production and content quality but also for its endurance and longevity. I remember combing through the early issues way back in 1979—when a colleague, the then Milestone adviser, Earl Jaeger, kindly passed the torch on to me. I discovered a small, stapled copy dated 1952. One of the names I came across was Hal Fox, who was a student here and later became an instructor, then the English Department Chair. That’s how I knew him when I was hired in 1977. Seeing his name there gave me pause, for he had recently passed on after retiring to return to his first love, writing and reading; and I thought, yes, this is why we do it, why we keep returning to the page—that face looking back at who we were, are, and might become. I would like to thank those who have contributed to these pages—not only the above mentioned writers who have inspired our emerging voices over the years but also those on the production ground such as Trish Glover, Graphic Arts Designer; members of the M i l e ston e : the voices of east los and beyond 7 Milestone2009.v2.qxd:Milestone2004.qxd 4/28/09 12:00 PM Page 8 Art Department, in particular Chris Moreno for her gathering of student art in this issue; members of the English Department: James Kenny,Department Chairperson, and my colleagues on the Milestone Committee—Susan Suntree and Joan Gurfield. I would also like to express my appreciation to those students who helped me launch English 32 (College Literary Magazine Editing) in the spring of 2007. For the first time, we now have a course devoted to both the creative writing and editing process in producing our annual literary journal, Milestone. Thank you, students in the spring 2007 and 2008 classes, for helping me select the pieces for this issue. Congratulations, we did it again! — Carol Lem, www.carollem.com 8 East Los Angeles College Milestone2009.v2.qxd:Milestone2004.qxd 4/28/09 12:00 PM Page 9 Sandra Acosta | Waiting Room You swivel from side to side behind a desk, filing folders on a hill where old money charms doctors. Photos of indigenous people on walls, quietly looking pretty, smile eternally with paint on faces and bones through noses. A waiting room is full of people flipping through magazines — An ugly old man demands he be seen. You make him wait his turn, you say, have a seat, sir. Mad eyes laser in on your brown face like you just told him heaven is in Mexico. Blood light narrows in on your soft heart he shouts, Go back to where you came from. Deadness fills the room, its thick walls offer no escape, no climbing trees, no filling buckets with sand you offer the ocean, no chanting red rover, red rover — Your small voice growing like a thundercloud, you finally speak.

A small dam right below the bridge at Bridge Square created a beautiful little waterfall and on the other side of the river, straight up from the waterfall rose a castle!“ “A castle? You said it wasn’t a kingdom!” “OK, maybe it was actually a factory—but it looked like a castle.

  • From the Manse…. Happy St
    From the Manse…. Happy St. Andrew’s Day! As I write this piece for the magazine I am reminded that on this date is the ancient ecclesiastical feast day of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. Our country has been associated with this disciple of Jesus for very many generations and in so doing it allows us to reflect on what it means to be truly Christian. We know some important things about Andrew. First of all he was an ordinary man of his time, a fisherman along with his brother Peter. He was a man who knew what it was to work hard and in often difficult places to make his living. We know also that Andrew was a man who sought after truth - he listened carefully to the preaching of John the Baptist and was to discover that Jesus was to be the saviour of the world. Now one of the great qualities of Andrew is that he was willing to share the truth he learned with others. We know that it was Andrew who introduced his brother Peter to Jesus and that both became his followers. Andrew listened and heard the eternal truth Jesus taught and later when commissioned by Jesus to take out the message of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection he did so willingly. His Christian faith however led to his arrest and execution – his death by means of crucifixion, though apparently at his own request, not a cross as his Lord Jesus but on a Latin cross, a saltire. The saltire, of course, now embedded as the symbol of Scottish identity in the national flag.

The purpose of this project is to identify the necessary elements of a worship studies program geared toward ministry in the contemporary church. Incorporating Biblical research, field studies, and surveys, the project reviews Biblical principles as well as personal perspectives on worship from individuals in the United States and other parts of the world. Based on this information, recommendations are made regarding principles of worship for the contemporary church. In addition, learning outcome goals for a worship studies program are suggested. Abstract length: 113 words. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sincere gratitude is extended to Dr. Ron Giese, Associate Dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and Dr. Rob Jackson, Vice-President for Spiritual Life at Liberty University. Their valuable insights and direction as well as their personal friendships are greatly appreciated.

  • Excerpt-Sing-Keith-Kristyn-Getty.Pdf
    PRAISE FOR SING! “The beauty of this book is how consistent it is with who and what the Gettys have been to the Church over the past decade. Their contribution is not significant because of the extraordinary but the ordinary. They are ordinary Christians who have made an extraordinary impact, not because of their musical or theological credentials, but because of their desire and willingness to devote themselves to the ordinary things. Sing! is an exposition of those ordinary things that have allowed the Gettys to be used by the Lord to bless, encourage, and provoke so many of us not only to ‘sing to the Lord a new song,’ but also to love and appreciate the old ones. May this practical, pastoral, theological, accessible, and delightful book help and bless many. May it encourage us all to Sing!.” Voddie Baucham Jr., dean of Theological Education, African Christian University in Lusaka, Zambia “Here is a book worth buying. Filled with biblical, practical insight that, understood and taken to heart, will revolutionize congrega- tional singing.” Alistair Begg, pastor of Truth for Life Radio and general editor of the Spurgeon Study Bible “Sing! is wonderful! It’s a treasury of lost principles discovered for a new generation of worshippers. Sing! reminds me and my family that God uses music and the Word to transform the world, and that our part in His process of renewing all things is to open our mouths.” Kirk Cameron, film actor and producer “With a rare combination of theological insight, the lessons shaped by years of practical experience, and remarkable readability, this book is simultaneously evocative, informative, and accessible.” D.
