No decent person likes to watch someone else crash and burn, especially a kid. Yet, I found myself in a position for eight years where I had to do just that. I knew it was coming every year and it was never pleasant. Nor did I ever really get used to it or hardened by it. So, what was the position? It was that of a high school basketball coach at an inner city high school. Every year in the early fall, we began the process of forming that season’s basketball team. This was always a time of big dreams, high expectations, and big talk. Usually the biggest talk came from the new young players or the new kids who had transferred to our school. As the process began, we would spend two weeks trying to get the kids to quit. We would run them more than most of them had ever run in their life.

Though the diplomatic relations of England and the United States over the Central American isthmus have received frequent consideration of a general character by writers on American diplomacy, no exhaustive study of the subject appears to have been before attempted. It is the aim of the following essay to present the result of a detailed investigation into Anglo-American isth- mian diplomacy, from the first emergence of Central America as a subject of diplomatic interest between the two countries down to the immediate present. The work here presented is to a large extent based upon new material. Part of this is in the form of printed sources, 'drawn upon to some degree by pre- vious writers but by no means exhausted.

    CONNECTING THE DOTS BETWEEN FAITH AND LIFE: A NARRATIVE STUDY OF EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN EMERGING ADULTS AFTER COLLEGE by NATHAN COOK BYRD, III Under the Direction of Wendy E. A. Ruona ABSTRACT The purpose of this narrative study was to gain understanding into the faith development of Christian emerging adults after graduation who were leaders in a Christian collegiate ministry while undergraduates at a large southern university. Three questions guided the narrative interview process and data analysis. First, how does the faith of Christian emerging adults change after college graduation? Second, how do emerging adults negotiate the relationship between faith and identity? Third, what happens in the experience and expression of faith during emerging adulthood? Two face-to-face interviews were conducted with each of the fourteen participants seeking to elicit narratives of faith development and experience. Participants were also asked to select and bring an artifact, representative of their faith or faith journey, to the first interview. After the initial interview, narrative analysis was conducted and initial findings were discussed with each participant in a second interview. Narrative analysis of the data revealed five key findings: (a) faith was influenced by each participant’s relationship with others; (b) faith was influenced by “the bubble” constructed by each participant. The bubble is the cultural environment that gives meaning to one’s life and experiences while providing insulation from influences contrary to one’s chosen or preferred perspective; (c) the significance of faith was indicated and influenced by each participant’s activities; (d) each participant’s faith was influenced by mystical experiences; and (e) faith development was influenced and motivated by his or her hopes and dreams for the future.
