  • I Am He … You Are Right Devotion
    I am He … You are Right Devotion Read John 18:1-8 and Luke 22:70 – 23:1. Have you done or said anything recently that took a lot of courage? Do you know anyone who has? Is there something you should like to do or ought to do that you haven’t had the courage to face? Take a few minutes and discuss this in your group. Jesus is an unsurpassed example of the supreme measure of courage. He knew what He faced when He said, I am He (John 18:5b), to the group of men who had come to capture Him in the Garden of Gethsemane. He knew what humiliation and mockery would follow. Jesus also knew what the result would be when He answered Pilate’s question, Are you the king of the Jews (John 18:33b)? His reply would certainly result in extreme physical as well as emotional pain and ultimately death. Yet, He persevered. He was firm and steady. When we have a choice to make between truth and falsehood, the way of a committed Christian versus the way of the world, or of witnessing to our faith or keeping comfortably silent, what will our choice be? Challenges to today’s Christian may run the spectrum of minimal effect to major consequences, but they are nothing compared to the challenge of courage that Jesus faced. He stood and answered boldly and unwaveringly. When events in our lives call the unspoken or unspoken question of whether or not we are committed to Christ, let our words and actions make the courageous statement, “I am.” For all that Jesus courageously suffered on our behalf, overwhelming thankfulness must be our response.

  • Verses of Comfort and Faith
    Verses of Comfort and Faith Isaiah 12:2-4 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. -Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. -And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. 25:1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. -Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. - He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. - Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with w i n g s as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

  • Pronouns: a Resource Supporting Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (Gnc) Educators and Students
    PRONOUNS: A RESOURCE SUPPORTING TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING (GNC) EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS Why focus on pronouns? You may have noticed that people are sharing their pronouns in introductions, on nametags, and when GSA meetings begin. This is happening to make spaces more inclusive of transgender, gender nonconforming, and gender non-binary people. Including pronouns is a first step toward respecting people’s gender identity, working against cisnormativity, and creating a more welcoming space for people of all genders. How is this more inclusive? People’s pronouns relate to their gender identity. For example, someone who identifies as a woman may use the pronouns “she/her.” We do not want to assume people’s gender identity based on gender expression (typically shown through clothing, hairstyle, mannerisms, etc.) By providing an opportunity for people to share their pronouns, you're showing that you're not assuming what their gender identity is based on their appearance. If this is the first time you're thinking about your pronoun, you may want to reflect on the privilege of having a gender identity that is the same as the sex assigned to you at birth. Where do I start? Include pronouns on nametags and during introductions. Be cognizant of your audience, and be prepared to use this resource and other resources (listed below) to answer questions about why you are making pronouns visible. If your group of students or educators has never thought about gender-neutral language or pronouns, you can use this resource as an entry point. What if I don’t want to share my pronouns? That’s ok! Providing space and opportunity for people to share their pronouns does not mean that everyone feels comfortable or needs to share their pronouns.

  • Thou Art the Man’
    PSALM 51: ‘THOU ART THE MAN’ What is a sin? “A sin is when our actions come unglued from our story.” For actions to make sense they gave to be placed into a story. An action without a coherent story is meaningless. Our lives are built up as thousands of actions but without a coherent story they are all meaningless. I am who I am in my story. If we live in a truthful story that makes sense to us we learn the habits of a set character. A person secure in his or her identity of story doesn’t commit adultery. They usually don’t get anxious either, because they know who they are by recognising whose they are. David’s story and identity are fused. Or at least they were supposed to be FUSED. David should have had the character-role in his own story of the warrior-for-God. How does David lose his sense of self? So David has a story; he’s the king. The king should be out smashing Israel’s enemies, right? The Psalms tell the king’s story right up front: I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery (Psalm 2.8-9) This is David’s true story. This is his identity. But David forgets his story? (Have you forgotten yours?) and so David’s actions 1 — Come unglued from his story! David loses his story. With that loss he also loses his identity.

  • Preferred Gender Pronouns: for Faculty (Or, How to Take Important Steps in Becoming a Trans Ally!)
    Preferred Gender Pronouns: For Faculty (Or, How to Take Important Steps in Becoming a Trans Ally!) What is a pronoun? ñ A pronoun is a word that refers to either the people talking (like I or you) or someone or something that is being talked about (like she, it, them, and this). Gender pronouns (like he and hers) specifically refer to people that you are talking about. What is a “preferred gender pronoun”? ñ A "preferred gender pronoun" (or PGP) is the pronoun that a person chooses to use for themself. For example: If Xena's preferred pronouns are she, her, and hers, you could say "Xena ate her food because she was hungry." What are some commonly used pronouns? ñ She, her, hers and he, him, his are the most commonly used pronouns. Some people call these "female/feminine" and "male/masculine" pronouns, but many avoid these labels because, for example, not everyone who uses he feels like a "male" or "masculine." ñ There are also lots of gender-neutral pronouns in use. Here are a few you might hear: ‹ They, them, theirs (Xena ate their food because they were hungry.) This is is a pretty common gender-neutral pronoun.... And yes, it can in fact be used in the singular. ‹ Ze, hir (Xena ate hir food because ze was hungry.) Ze is pronounced like "zee" can also be spelled zie or xe, and replaces she/he/they. Hir is pronounced like "here" and replaces her/hers/him/his/they/theirs. ñ Just my name please! (Xena ate Xena's food because Xena was hungry) Some people prefer not to use pronouns at all, using their name as a pronoun instead.

  • Polygraphy Revisited: U. S. V. Sche Ffer
    Polygraphy Revisited: U.S. v. Scheffer Melvin G. Goldzband, MD U.S. v. Scheffer is a case that poses two questions. First, must a defendant who wishes to place polygraphic evidence before the court be allowed to do so for fear that refusal will create a Constitutional issue by depriving him of due process? Second, is polygraphic evidence admissible evidence at all, as defined by the Military Rule of Evidence or the Federal Rules of Evidence? The case, originally tried in Court-Martial, was reviewed by two military courts of appeal, with resulting judicial dissention leading to the granting of certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court. In its decision, the Supreme Court affirmed the refusal of the Court-Martial to admit the requested polygraphic evidence. Airman Edward G. Scheffer had been tions (OSI) of the United States Air Force convicted in a general court-martial in (U.S.A.F.). Soon afterward, he told OSI 1992. Contrary to his pleas of innocence, about two men who were dealing in large he was charged with and convicted of amounts of illicit drugs.

TO JAMES MORGAN HART Author of "German Universities" and Scholar in Old English y PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. The present volume is an attempt to be of service to those who are beginning the study of our language, or who desire to acquaint themselves with a few speci- mens of our earliest literature. It has seemed to the author that there were two extremes to be avoided in its compilation — the treatment of Old English as though it consisted of wholly isolated phenomena, and the procedure upon a virtual assumption that the student was already acquainted with the cognate Germanic tongues and with the problems and methods of comparative phi- lology. The former treatment robs the study of its significance and value, which, like that of most other subjects, is found in its relations ; the latter repels and confounds the student at a stage when he is most in need of encouragement and attraction. How well the author has succeeded must be left to the judgment of others — the masters whom he follows at a distance, and the students whose interests he has constantly borne in mind.
