Unity of Faith
June 3, 20119 min readFaith
Deacon Donald Cox
We frequently hear people refer to the Our Father as the Lord's Prayer. But the Our Father is not the Lord's Prayer at all. It is actually the disciple's prayer. It is the prayer that Jesus gave his disciples to pray. This prayer contained in the Gospel of John (Chapter 17) is the real Lord's Prayer, because this is the actual prayer that Our Lord Himself prayed while He was with His disciples in that upper room.
Jesus obviously spoke this prayer out loud, but these words that Jesus spoke are addressed directly to the Father, not to the disciples. In this prayer, Jesus speaks of His earthly ministry in the past tense. His work here on earth is completed. Jesus prays for His disciples, for their strength, for their protection and for their unity as they continue Christ's mission here on earth. And Jesus prays for all believers, all those who will come into discipleship through the Gospel that these men preach. And Jesus concludes this prayer by praying for unity among all believers. Jesus says, in verse 20 and 21,
"I do not pray for these men alone. I pray for all those who will believe in Me through their word, that all may be one as you, Father are in Me, and I in you. I pray that they may be one in us, that the world may believe that you sent me."
Unity among all believers was obviously very important to Our Lord. But you have to wonder. With all the various Christian denominations in the world today, did Jesus' prayer go unanswered. I read in a book titled The Christian Encyclopedia, that there were 33,820 different Christian denominations in the world at the time the book was published, which was 11 years ago. That number has grown even higher since then.
So what happened? The mere fact that there are over 33,820 different Christian denominations in the world, doesn't sound like we have unity among believers. Has Jesus' prayer gone unanswered? If so, that's embarrassing. The great I AM, our God who came to earth and took upon Himself our humanity, spoke that prayer Himself to His Heavenly Father, the First Person of that Blessed Trinity. Should we just be quiet and pretend that those words were never spoken? I don't think so! Jesus' prayer for unity among believers is, without a doubt, one of the greatest, if not the greatest, prayer found in the Bible. But the apparent diversity among believers appears to be a sad testament to the fidelity of His followers.
The Second Vatican Council said, in a document titled The Decree on Ecumenism, that the lack of unity among Christians "openly contradicts the will of Christ"; it "scandalizes the world"; and it "damages that most holy cause, the preaching of the Gospel to every creature."
The Catholic Church's Code of Canon Law, canon 755, says that the Catholic Church "is bound by the will of Christ" to promote "the restoration of unity among all Christians . . ."
The over abundance of various Christian denominations would make it appear that Our Lord's prayer represents a dismal failure. The evidence suggests that His prayer remains unanswered. But I caution you not to jump to that conclusion. Because the Catholic Church teaches that Christian unity is not an objective to be achieved, but rather a fact to be accepted.
Allow me to tell you a story that will help clarify my point.
Just this past Memorial Day weekend, Greenfield Village sponsored an event that commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Within the Village many Civil War tents and encampments were set up. There were blue and grey uniforms everywhere. They had cavalry and canon demonstrations, reenactments of battle skirmishes, and many historical artifacts on display. I hope you had an opportunity to experience it. It was an excellent insight into a vital part of our nation's history.
While visiting the event, I couldn't help but remember General Robert E Lee, probably the most famous Confederate general during the American Civil War. "Robert E. Lee was a deeply religious man. He believed that the hand of God was present in all human affairs. Lee, along with General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, had achieved several victories in various battles during the war. Unfortunately, General Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded one night after a battle. Sadly, he was mistaken by his one of his own men. When Lee learned of this unfortunate accident, he was understandably crushed. Both Lee and Jackson were West Point graduates. They were both veterans of the Mexican War. Both were proud Virginians who had evolved into intimate soul mates.
Lee pleaded with God to spare Jackson's life and when Jackson died on May 10, 1863 Lee was devastated. Lee felt that Jackson's death, only weeks before the Gettysburg campaign, was a divine message to him that he was fighting for the wrong cause.
Interestingly, on May 11, 1864, the day after the first anniversary of Jackson's death, General Jeb Stuart, who in Lee's hierarchy was second only to Jackson, was mortally wounded in battle and died the following day. For Lee these terrible losses were hardly coincidental. He believed that the Almighty had spoken, and clearly not in his favor. Thus, General Lee entered into the final months of the war without his two most important subordinate commanders.
Lee, the epitome of southern nobility, accepted the loss of the quest for Southern independence with extraordinary grace. Through the north's victory, an entirely new social order was to be established that would alter the relationship between the races forever. Unlike so many other Southerners, Lee embraced the new order. Lee opposed slavery. Before and during the war, Lee's wife and mother-in-law worked to liberate slaves. They even set up an illegal school for slaves on their Arlington plantation.
After the war, on one Sunday at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Virginia, a well-dressed, lone black man, whom no one in the community – white or black – had ever seen before, had attended the service. He sat unnoticed in the last pew. Just before communion was to be distributed, he rose and proudly walked down the center aisle through the middle of the church where all could see him. He approached the communion rail, where he knelt. The priest and the congregation were completely aghast and in total shock. No one knew what to do…except General Lee. He went to the communion rail and knelt beside the black man and they received communion together. Then a steady flow of other church members followed the example he had set. Ironically, after the service was over, the black man was never to be seen in Richmond again. It was as if he had been sent down from a higher place purposefully for that particular occasion." (Professor Edward C. Smith, director of American Studies at American University, Washington, D.C., and co-director of The Civil War Institute.)
On the last night of his life here on earth, Jesus did not pray for the health, happiness or success of His disciples. He simply prayed that they would get along with one another. He prayed for their unity. And He prayed for unity among all future believers.
This unity that Jesus prayed for has to begin with the individual. It has to begin with each and every one of us. And it has to begin with our personal relationship with Him. We are all individuals, with our own personalities and our own set of priorities. The only way that this prayer for unity can ever be experienced is through the faith, trust and confidence that each and every disciple has in God.
Jesus knew that unity wouldn't be easy. And he not only prayed for unity among us, he modeled it for us. Remember when the disciples approached Jesus and said, "Teacher, we saw a man using your name to expel demons and we tried to stop him because he is not of our company. Jesus said in reply: Do not try to stop him. No man who performs a miracle in my name can at the same time speak ill of me. Anyone who is not against us is with us." (Mark 9:38-40)
Unity among the followers of Christ is not determined by whether or not we agree on our interpretation of Scripture. Unity among the followers of Christ is not determined by the structure of our congregation. The unity among the disciples of Christ is determined by the love we have for one another. And we give witness of our unity to the world by this love that we have for each other.
We Catholics are faithful to, and very proud of, the apostolic succession that identifies our congregation as the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. But there will always be many different and separate Christian denominations. That is unavoidable. But that does not mean that there is an absence of Christian unity. Our unity lives in the love, understanding, respect and acceptance we share for each other. In His prayer, Jesus said, "I pray that all may be one as you, Father are in Me, and I in you. I pray that they may be one in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." (John 17:21) It is by our love that we are truly one in Christ.

I am reading this amazing book called 'Thinking fast and slow' by Daniel Kahneman. He mentions an experiment that was done to understand how our body and facial expressions affect our emotions and vice versa.
The message is clear I suppose: SMILE WHENEVER POSSIBLE – the power of a simple smile is quite underestimated by most of us (though we would all generally agree to the benefits of it!).
We often contend that there is no solid reason to smile. Is that true? Look around you. There are so many little incredible things happening. Any one of those can bring a smile to your lips.

The Economics of South Park
Emmanuel Sessegnon
People love South Park.
In an age where shows attempt to avoid controversy at all costs, South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone practically go out of their way to find it.
When asked by the Huffington Post which group they have angered the most their answer was fast: mainstream progressives.
This should come as no surprise. It's no secret that the two friends are strong supporters of free markets and free speech, neither of which are supported by the modern Left. And their episodes always hinted at their healthy distrust of the government. But more importantly it's because the shows reveal a confidence in the capacity of human beings to adapt to difficult situations without the seeming aid of legislation and imposition by know-it-alls at the top.
Last year at an award ceremony they officially announced that they were Republicans, though they later clarified they were more libertarian.
So, in extremely belated honor of their announcement, here are five (hilarious) episodes that showcase their views and hopefully caused their viewers to trust the government just a little bit less.
1- Cartmanland (Season 8 Episode 6)
This episode teaches that capitalism works despite human selfishness.
When Cartman, an extremely selfish boy, inherits a million dollars from his grandmother, he immediately uses the money to buy an amusement park. His plan? To take the park for himself and not allow anyone else in.
But without security, he can't keep people from coming. Eventually he has to let people into the amusement park in order to make enough money for security, keeping the rides in good condition, etc.
In the end, the free market produced the best result.
2- Goobacks (Season 8 Episode 6)
Originally aired back in 2004, this episode is more relevant now than ever.
In Goobacks, a portal suddenly opens allowing millions of time travelers to come to South Park. These immigrants are poor, and are coming through the portal in order to better their lives. However, many of the locals start saying that the time immigrants took their jobs. In fact, the boys themselves lose their snow shoveling job because immigrants would do it for 25 cents.
In the end, the two groups learn to listen to each other and eventually make peace – something people today need to learn how to do.
3- Stunning and Brave (Season 19, Episode 1)
No list about South Park would be complete without PC Principal, its most famous antagonist.
In this first appearance PC Principal, a frat boy with shades on, decides that the school is not politically correct enough. The episode focuses on society's increasingly strict policing of language. When Kyle refuses to say that Caitlyn Jenner is 'stunning and brave', he gets suspended.
This episode is one of the funniest the show has to offer – and easily one of the most relevant.
4 – Margaritaville (Season 13, Episode 3)
Airing in 2009, this episode deals with the Great Recession and public ignorance of economics.
Stan gives money to a bank but it is immediately lost because the bank decides to put it in a "money-market mutual fund" which goes belly up. Led by Randy, the town decides that the best course of action is to spend money only on the bare essentials in order to appease the economy (viewed as a god).
After a series of shenanigans, including Kyle using a credit card to pay off everyone's debts, the economy gets better and stores start opening once more.
5- Starvin Marvin (Season 1 Episode 8)
When a famine devastates Ethiopia, the boys decide to donate to a charity. After a series of misunderstandings, the government brings Cartman to Africa and Marvin to America instead of sending over the money.
Though it all works out in the end – with Cartman learning gratitude and Marvin bringing food back for his people – the episode is an amusing story of government incompetence
These episodes and many others can be watched in full on South Park's website.

Wittenberg prepares future managers to be ethically responsible and effective business leaders by focusing on business knowledge as well as analytical and communication skills.
What Can Students Do With A Career In Management?
In any organization, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, the people and processes are what create the products or provide the services. On the people side, organizations have a responsibility to ensure their employees are treated fairly and humanely as defined by ethical and legal standards. Leaders and managers set the tone for their organizations through their words and actions. On the process side, organizations use technology and tools to put in place policies and work practices to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. If you're interested in making an impact on who does the work, how they feel about that work and the organization, and how work gets done, then a management major might be right for you.

Q: Unable to Implement Cutom Comparator for Javers Comparison Hi I am new to Javers .
I have an Entity , for which I am implementing a custom comparator in order to compare using Javers .
My entity :-
package com.devyansh.entity;
import java.util.List;
import org.javers.core.metamodel.annotation.Entity;
@Entity
public class Ent {

    String value;
    List<String> values;
    public Ent(String value, List<String> values) {
        super();
        this.value = value;
        this.values = values;
    }
    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }
    public void setValue(String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
    public List<String> getValues() {
        return values;
    }
    public void setValues(List<String> values) {
        this.values = values;
    }

}

Below I am registering the new Comparator :-
public void comp(){

    Javers javers = JaversBuilder.javers().registerCustomComparator(new FunnyStringComparator(), Ent.class).build();

    Diff diff = javers.compare(new Ent("aaa", new ArrayList<String>()), new Ent("aaa",new ArrayList<String>()));

    System.out.println(diff.getChanges());
}

My Comparator Implementation :-
package com.devyansh.javers;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
import java.util.Set;

import com.devyansh.entity.Ent;
import com.google.common.collect.Sets;

import org.javers.core.diff.changetype.PropertyChangeMetadata;
import org.javers.core.diff.changetype.container.ContainerElementChange;
import org.javers.core.diff.changetype.container.SetChange;
import org.javers.core.diff.changetype.container.ValueAdded;
import org.javers.core.diff.changetype.container.ValueRemoved;
import org.javers.core.diff.custom.CustomPropertyComparator;
import org.javers.core.metamodel.property.Property;

public class FunnyStringComparator implements CustomPropertyComparator<Ent, SetChange> {

    @Override
    public Optional<SetChange> compare(Ent left, Ent right, PropertyChangeMetadata metadata,
            Property property) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Hello!!!!!");

            return null ;

    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Ent a, Ent b) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }

}

PROBLEM AREA :-
WHENEVER I TRY TO COMPARE USING THE BELOW LINE :-
Diff diff = javers.compare(new Ent("aaa", new ArrayList()), new Ent("aaa",new ArrayList()));
I get the following error :-
MANAGED_CLASS_MAPPING_ERROR: given javaClass 'class com.devyansh.entity.Ent' is mapped to CustomType, expected ManagedType
Can anybody please let me know what I am doing wrong ??? I tried to debug the Javers api , below function is called :-
JaversType get(Type javaType) {
    return mappedTypes.get(javaType.toString());
}

here mappedTypes is a concurrentHashMap  , and it reutrns a customType for user defined entities ?
How can we resolve this ?

A: Currently, CustomTypes objects are supported only when they are inside ObjectGraphs.
When CustomTypes objects are passed directly to Javers.compare(), Javers fails on genertating GlobalId for them.
I have created the issue for this case https://github.com/javers/javers/issues/882, contributions are welcome.

Democrat Julián Castro drops out of 2020 presidential race
By Paul J. Weber
Julian Castro ends 2020 presidential campaign
The former Obama housing secretary was the only Latino candidate in the field and one of the biggest voices on immigration.
WASHINGTON - Former Obama housing secretary Julián Castro on Thursday ended his run for president that pushed the 2020 field on immigration and swung hard at rivals on the debate stage but never found a foothold to climb from the back of the pack.
"I'm so proud of the campaign we've run together. We've shaped the conversation on so many important issues in this race, stood up for the most vulnerable people, and given a voice to those who are often forgotten," Castro said in an online video. "But with only a month until the Iowa caucuses, and given the circumstances of this campaign season, I have determined that it simply isn't our time."
The video continues, "So today it's with a heavy heart and with profound gratitude, that I will suspend my campaign for president. To all who have been inspired by our campaign, especially our young people, keep reaching for your dreams — and keep fighting for what you believe in." It concludes, "¡Ganaremos un día!" — which translates to "We will win one day!"
Castro, who launched his campaign in January, dropped out after failing to garner enough support in the polls or donations to make recent Democratic debates. A former San Antonio mayor who was the only Latino in the race, Castro had stalled for most of his campaign around 1% in polls and entered October low on money.
Castro, 45, was among the youngest in the running at a moment when the party's ascendant left wing is demanding generational change. And as the grandson of a Mexican immigrant, Castro said he recognized the meaning of his candidacy in the face of President Donald Trump's inflammatory anti-immigrant rhetoric and hardline policies on the U.S.-Mexico border.
But he labored not to be pigeonholed as a single-issue candidate. Castro made the attention-getting choice of Puerto Rico as his first campaign stop, recited the names of black victims killed in high-profile police shootings and was the first in the field to call for Trump's impeachment.
But his sagging poll numbers never budged. He was often eclipsed by another Texan in the race who dropped out this fall, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, and another young former mayor, Pete Buttigieg of South Bend. His campaign and supporters, meanwhile, grumbled that Castro didn't get due credit for taking out-front positions.
Democratic presidential candidate and former housing secretary Julian Castro is interviewed by former Obama Administration officials Ben Rhodes and Tommy Vietor during the J Street National Conference at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on
Trying to show he could go to-to-toe with Trump, Castro swung for big moments on debate stages, and flirted with a much-needed breakout in June after confronting O'Rourke over not supporting decriminalization of illegal border crossings.
But turning his sights on Biden on a later stage brought swift backlash. During the September debate in Houston, Castro appeared to touch on concerns about the age of the then-76-year-old former vice president and added a parting shot at him.
"I'm fulfilling the legacy of Barack Obama, and you're not," Castro said.
Castro — who was Obama's housing secretary in his second term — denied taking a personal dig at Biden as others in the field condemned the exchange. Three days later, Castro lost one of his three backers in Congress, Rep. Vicente González of Texas, who switched his endorsement to Biden.
Castro had warned supporters in a fundraising appeal that failing to make the November debate stage would spell the end of his campaign. He needed to hit at least 3 percent polling in four early state or national polls but didn't get even one.
What is next for Castro is unclear. Back home in Texas, Democrats had long viewed Castro as their biggest star in waiting and some have urged him to run for governor as the state trends more diverse and liberal.

LIVERPOOL will do 'everything they can' to reunite Jurgen Klopp and Mario Gotze at Anfield this summer.
The Germany star looks increasingly likely to make his Bayern Munich exit over the next couple of months after being persistently overlooked this season.
Reports in Germany today claim that new Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti has told the 23-year-old he is free to leave when the transfer window reopens.
And according to The Express, Liverpool are working hard to lure him to the Premier League.
They claim the Reds have opened talks with Gotze in an attempt to convince him against a return to former club Borussia Dortmund.
It is understood that Liverpool are fully willing to make the World Cup winner one of their highest paid players.
And the club's board are also fully behind Klopp's judgement of the player and will go all out to land him.
Gotze is said to have made 'discreet enquiries' about Liverpool as he weighs up his next move.

One of the most noticeable things about our pimples and zits is the RED of inflammation as our body battles the excess oils in our pores to the death. Our goal is to reduce these reds, which will minimize the appearance of blemishes.
Target that red color range in a snap by going to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, and over to Hue/Saturation. In the dialog box, change the drop-down from Master to Reds and grab the eye dropper tool on the bottom left of the dialog. Simply hover over the red area that you want to reduce, and click to target it.
This is all well and good, but right now, we can't really see if we have selected the reds that we want. If we select too little red, we won't be reducing much of anything. If we select too much red, the reds naturally present in our skin will be reduced, making for a sickly-looking face.
Bump up your Hue as well as your Saturation to get a clear picture of what reds we are affecting. The grey slider at the bottom shows us what range of colors we have selected (shown in the top rainbow bar) and what colors they will change into (shown in the bottom rainbow bar). The grey slider has two handles for adjusting the feathering of the effect. Once we are sure we have got the right range of reds, pop all those values back to zero.
Now that the reds are selected, we can get to reducin'. Increase the Lightness until the red areas look just about as light as the rest of the skin. Darker areas tend to be less saturated than lighter areas, so bump up the Saturation to bring some color back. We are almost there, simply move the Hue slider to the right a bit to shift the red into its complementary color: cyan. The cyan will cancel out any excess redness.
Don't forget to paint black on the layer mask of the Hue/Saturation Layer over the mouth and nose. Otherwise, it will take the red out of the lips and nostrils (which don't look as fun without it).
Stop here if reducing the redness was enough to do the job for you. If you're working on a close up with a lot of detail, or want to get rid of blemish texture entirely, the next few tools have got you covered.
The first is the Spot Healing Brush tool. Simply click on a blemish and the tool will choose a texture from another part of the face and replace it. Often it will do well, but in the event that it does not, click over the spot again and it will try another texture.
The next is the Healing Brush tool. This tool works similarly to the Spot Healing Brush, except you decide what part of the face it takes texture from. Hold ALT or OPTION to sample a bit of skin that you like, and then paint over the blemish you want to remove. It will blend the texture from where you sample with the color of where you paint.
The Clone Stamp tool is next. This tool takes an exact copy of where you sample and puts it on top of where you paint, without any blending. Hold ALT or OPTION to sample and then paint over the desired spot. Beware, as this tool will NOT try to blend anything. This does however make it great for removing blemishes that are close to edges.
Use this tool in the Normal Mode (Content Aware does not work as well). Create a new layer and go to Image, Apply Image, as the Patch tool in Normal Mode only works when there are pixels on the layer you're working on. But once that is done, simple draw a circle around the blemish you want removed, drag around until you see a clean spot, and pop! The blemish disappears. The only complication to this tool is the destructive nature of Normal Mode. Make sure to do this on a new Applied Image layer!
If you want to take a texture that is too defined for the area you need it for, use the Fade function and make that texture less apparent in a snap.

The original Honour Board was erected in the early 1920's on the now Heritage listed Railway Station. Electrification meant a new Maryborough West railway station was well out of town. The ticket office however remained and a bus transfer system established for Maryborough & Hervey Bay. The Honour Board was moved to inside the ticket office to minimize vandal damage.
The board commemorates 124 who served in WWI. Folders are available at the ticket office to view the war records of those listed.

Allen announces $60 million Bay initiative
By Karl Blankenship on December 01, 1997
Comments are closed for this article.
Virginia Gov. George Allen an-nounced that he would propose spending $60 million over the next two years to meet a year 2000 nutrient reduction goal in the Potomac River and to speed up pollution control efforts in other Bay tributaries.
Allen, who has often been criticized for his environmental policies and for the slow pace of nutrient control efforts in Virginia, made the announcement while attending his final Executive Council meeting. Virginia governors are not allowed to seek re-election, and his term ends in January.
"The people of Virginia are committed to being responsible stewards of the Bay and all of our natural resources," Allen said. "And here today, Virginians renew their pledge to continue to work constructively with our neighbors, not just sign agreements, but act. And we're putting money on the table to responsibly get the job done."
Allen's proposal will be included in his final two-year budget proposal which will be completed before he leaves office. The expenditures must still be approved by the General Assembly and Gov.-elect James Gilmore.
If they go along, the program would substantially expand the $15 million nutrient reduction program which had been approved by Allen and the General Assembly during the 1997 legislative session.
"Our earlier efforts were not a one-shot deal," said Allen, who credited the Commonwealth's ability to make the "unprecedented" investment in Bay restoration to significantly expanded economic activity in the state over the past several years.
Virginia had earlier completed a "tributary strategy" to meet the 40 percent nutrient reduction for its portion of the Potomac, including the Shenandoah River. But that plan would not obtain the desired reduction until about 2003, primarily because of the cost, and construction time, involved in upgrading wastewater treatment plants.
Under Allen's proposal, the state would create "Year 2000 Challenge Grants" that will offer a bonus for the acceleration of point-source projects that can help Virginia meet the 40 percent nutrient reduction goal on time.
In addition, Allen's proposal would:
Help with upgrades, expansions and other improvements at Virginia wastewater treatment plants by increasing the number of projects funded by the Water Quality Improvement Fund. The fund was created by the General Assembly earlier in the year to finance nutrient control efforts.
Propose legislation to expand eligibility in the Water Quality Improvement Fund so that privately owned treatment plants can participate.
Help to reduce urban and agricultural runoff pollution by planting additional grass and riparian buffers to better manage erosion and nutrients; constructing storage sheds for poultry litter and other animal wastes to prevent them from polluting Bay tributaries; funding no-till farming equipment; and pursuing innovative technologies, such as more precise fertilizer application equipment and the use of phytase - which can be added to animal feed to reduce the phosphorus content in their waste - and other strategies to better manage nonpoint source pollution.
Increase the number of professionally trained personnel to develop nutrient management plans in the Shenan-doah/Potomac watershed.
Increase financial assistance to farmers for the implementation of nutrient reduction strategies.
Increase Virginia's investment in operational improvements at the Blue Plains wastewater treatment plant in the District of Columbia to further reduce the flow of nutrients from the plant into the Potomac.
"By moving forward with this action plan, Virginia can achieve the 40 percent reduction goal to which we all committed over a decade ago," Allen said.
While much of the focus of the effort is to help meet the year 2000 goal in the Potomac, Allen said that some of the money will be used to expand nutrient control efforts in Virginia's other Bay tributaries, where specific nutrient reduction targets are still being developed.

There is not a single experience quite like a week at summer camp. I have experienced this as a camper and a staffer.
I began my journey as a camper in the fifth grade. I was nervous, but excited to spend a week with a bunch of strangers away from home. My first summer could be summed up in the words "fun," and "relationships." It was the first time I really saw Christianity lived out in other people my age. I began to understand what a real relationship with Jesus looked like. I learned how to make friends and maintain those relationships beyond camp. During my second summer, the Lord really got ahold of my heart and turned my world upside down. I left knowing I had experienced true love for the first time from the source of love Himself. Camp allowed me the space to step away and be still. It gave me the chance to listen, and for the first time I heard Him say my name.
During my time as a camper, I felt a call to ministry. I pursued this in college and spent summers working as a staffer at camp. I did just about every job and gained a wide range of work experience. The intentional community built was unlike any other. The ministry experience prepared me for where I am today.
The power of camp is real. The life-long impact is undisputable. Genuine possibilities are here at www.WBYouthCamps.com.

Will Secret IRA Meeting Bring a New Cease-Fire?
Senior government officials in London and Dublin say they have confirmation that the governing body of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) will soon meet in secret to debate - and possibly declare - a cease-fire to end the 27-year conflict in Northern Ireland.
The officials quote police and security sources who have learned that the 200-strong General Army Convention (GAC) of the IRA plans to meet within a month.
British government officials declined to make direct comments on the reports, but indicated that they expect the GAC - activists representing every IRA unit in Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic - to meet within four weeks.
A conference of the GAC, if held, would be the first of its kind in 10 years and only the third since the Northern Ireland conflict erupted in 1969.
The IRA cease-fire in August 1994, which ended when a huge bomb exploded in London's docklands early this year, was declared without the GAC having met. The cease-fire decision was taken by the IRA's 12-member executive and its army council.
Gerry Adams, leader of Sinn Fein, the IRA's political wing, issued a statement Sunday saying that he had heard nothing of a GAC conference. But because he has made such denials in similar situations in the past, many observers do not take his statement as definitive.
Middle-ranking IRA sources who declined to be named say Mr. Adams and his chief ally, Martin McGuinness, plan to urge the GAC to order a new cease-fire to take effect early in November. They say the two Sinn Fein leaders will urge the GAC to approve the decommissioning of some IRA weapons as a concomitant of a cease-fire.
Sinn Fein so far has been prevented from joining in the peace process because the IRA has refused to hand in weapons and renounce violence.
Reports of an impending breakthrough in the stalled Northern Ireland peace process appeared to support comments made in Washington last week by John Bruton, prime minister of the Irish Republic. Mr. Bruton told reporters he had reason to hope that conditions existed in which a new IRA cease-fire could soon be called. Pressed to comment further, Bruton said: "I receive information that gives me grounds to be optimistic."
A British official noted that the reports of a planned GAC conference have appeared on the brink of highly sensitive discussions to be held this week in Belfast at multiparty Northern Ireland peace talks.
The talks resumed last week with the former US senator, George Mitchell, as chairman. Little if any progress was made, but there were signs of dissension within Unionist ranks.
Ian Paisley, leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, argued that two fringe Unionist parties with close links to Protestant paramilitary units should be banned from the multiparty talks. Mr. Paisley said this was because they had refused to denounce death threats made previously against a member of a Unionist splinter group. But the British and Irish governments, with concurrence of Mr. Mitchell, said the splinter parties could remain at the talks.
This week's discussions will center on decommissioning terrorist weapons. Until now the Ulster Unionists, representing the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland, have demanded that the IRA hand in its weapons before Sinn Fein would be admitted to negotiations. But David Trimble, leader of the main Ulster Unionist Party, appears to be moving toward a more flexible stance. "I am now expecting serious discussions and movement on this issue [decommissioning] in the next few days by the British and Irish governments," Mr. Trimble said over the weekend.
Pressed to say whether his party's hitherto tough stand on arms decommissioning had changed, he replied, "Our concern is to ensure that actual decommissioning takes place alongside talks and that it is properly implemented. If there is a credible cease-fire underwritten by actual decommissioning, we are in a new situation."
His comments tend to underline the significance of reports that the GAC intends to meet soon and that a decision on a new cease-fire may be at the top of its agenda.
The extreme importance of the GAC was stressed Sunday in the London Observer which reported: "The IRA's Green Book lays down the rules governing the organization and conduct of war. It states categorically that the conclusion of peace must be ratified by a convention."
With Sinn Fein increasingly marginalized internationally because of renewed IRA terrorist attacks, Adams has every reason to try to persuade the GAC that the time has come for a new cease-fire.
