Grace College, Winona Lake, INFebruary 21, 2013Volume 59, Issue No. 19

It’s easy to take what we have for granted. This morn-ing, after you stumbled out of bed, you flipped the light switch and turned on the faucet. Light and water ap-peared almost as if by some sort of wizardry, and there’s a significant chance you didn’t even notice.

It’s difficult to appreciate something when you don’t notice its existence. It’s even more difficult to take care of it. But electricity and water don’t appear by magic. The paper you’re holding didn’t start out as paper, and the empty can you tossed in the trashcan has to end up some-where. Almost every action we take throughout an ordi-nary day has some impact on the environment -- and we don’t even notice.

Ben Lowe wants that to change. As missionary kid from southeast Asia, he wit-nessed first hand the effects of pollution and understands its connection to poverty. His desire is that citizens of the richest country in the world stop taking for granted every day necessities like electric-ity and clean water and star living more mindfully, taking

care of God’s creation.Lowe never pictured him-

self on a speaking tour across the U.S., urg-ing college students to live a more c o n s c i e n -tious life. When he first started as a student at Whea-ton College, he initially wanted to be a medical mis-sionary. That dream changed, however, when he realized he could serve God’s people by caring for the land, pro-viding them with necessities like clean water.

“Tree huggers are people huggers too,” he told Grace College students during chapel on Thursday, Febru-ary 14.

In college, Lowe said he learned two important les-sons: first, that when the land isn’t healthy, people aren’t healthy. And second, that creation care is a biblical pri-ority.

“I can’t love God with all my heart, soul and mind without caring for His cre-ation, and I can’t care for my neighbor unless I help give him basic necessities,” he ex-plained.

Lowe says he is a member of what he calls an “intention-al community,” where they make an effort to do things like bike or walk, drive hy-brid cars, plant and care for a community garden, and con-

serve water and electricity.“We will be called to give

an account for how we live,” he said.

In five and a half years of speaking on col-lege campuses, Lowe says he has seen leaders born and campuses take big steps to becoming better caretakers of God’s creation. His orga-nization, Young Evangelicals for Climate Action (YECA) was born in February of 2012 and is described as “ad hoc” by Lowe, involving a variety of ways students can stand with the movement. They can sign a Call To Action, they can participate in a let-ter-writing campaign, or they can share their testimonies on the organization’s website or Facebook page.

Lowe says he often gets

the best feedback from non-Christians who also care for God’s creation, yet have been disillusioned or burned by the church.

“They feel the church is an opponent, not an ally,” said Lowe. His role with YECA has been an open door to con-versations and healing with

those people. Lowe is ex-

cited that Grace is looking into becoming a more c o n s c i e n t i o u s campus. He be-lieves Grace can set an example for other Christian schools as well. He recognizes, howev-er, that change is often grad-ual.

“This is a journey,” he says. “We’re learning and growing.”

If you’re a Grace College student, chances are you’ve en-joyed one of the weekly “What They Would Say” cartoons in The Sounding Board. Now, meet the man behind the funnies! Stephen Hartman is a junior by credit and an illustration and graphic design major. While he is probably most well-known on campus for his comics, Hartman is quickly making a name for himself in the online art com-munity--both here in the United States and across the pond.

Hartman decided to attend Grace after considering either attending a public school with a heavy concentration in art, or

a Christian school where he would have to take non art-relat-ed classes. After visiting Grace, it seemed like all he saw every-where were billboards and fly-ers advertising the school. He at last decided it was not coin-cidence after going to a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament and facing his first opponent--a Grace student. After a lot of prayer, he decided God was making it very clear that Grace was where Hartman was supposed to be.

Hartman’s interest in art spans his entire life. “My mom

says I could draw before I could walk,” he said. To him, art is a way to communicate. “Through art I can tell stories, create char-acters and entire worlds. I can inspire people, and help them visualize what they can only see in their minds.”

While Hartman says he will let God decide the future, his potential career opportunities range from animation to comic or book illustration to cover art and character design. “Anything can happen,” he says. “One day can change the entire world for an art major.”

Hartman would know. Over the summer, while surfing the Internet, he stumbled across a website called TeeFury.com that

sells T-shirts for 24 hours. The designs on the T-shirts were sub-mitted by artists and selected by the website.

“It’s definitely nerd-based,” said Hartman. “I was bored, so I submitted something.”

He then found similar web-sites and ended up submitting designs to 10 different websites. In the fall, he got his first de-sign -- called “Mega Minions” -- accepted by ShirtPunch.com. Consequentially, other websites heard of him and began accept-ing some of his designs as well.

“People now know my name,” said Hartman. “I’m cre-ating my market.”

Hartman then launched Hart-manArts as a way for his mar-ket to find him and connect with him via social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. He can also be found on deviantART.com and RedBubble.com, where his designs are printed on things like iPod cases.

His big break overseas came when the creator of one of the 24-hour T-shirt websites, BeOffTheChart.com, contacted him via Facebook, asking Hart-man to partner with him and submit designs for the website’s Italian and European markets.

“It’s a long-term investment,”

said Hartman. “It’s a new web-site and a new market in Europe. It’s slowly growing.”

Between establishing himself and his growing market online, working as the gallery assistant for the Art Department, and at the art desk, and as the web ed-itor for The Sounding Board, plus his side jobs with a business student project, game design, and building his portfolio--not to mention classes and home-work--Hartman has a lot on his plate. But he’s excited and look-ing forward to the future.

Aspiring artists can take notes from Hartman’s playbook. He urges artists not to wait until after graduation or until they are approached to start their careers. “Don’t wait for something to happen,” he admonishes. “Make it happen yourself. If I had wait-ed until now to start marketing myself, I’d still have half a year ahead of me before I learned what I know now.”

He advises not to look at fail-ure except as another chance to try again.

“You will fail,” he says. “My tenth design was the first one ac-cepted. That means I messed up a lot--but I learned a lot. Don’t give up.”

What They Would Say Stephen Hartman

“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” 1 Cor-inthians 13:2 NIV

As humans we are, and always have been, fascinated by love. So much so that searching for love on Google will reveal 1,510,000,000 results in only 0.16 seconds. However, as is clearly visible in the verse above, this phenomenon of love is not only something that fascinates us, but something that is of dire importance to our God. Af-

ter all, it is only through His infinite love that we can live. As children of God we are called to love God with all our hearts, mind, and strength, and love our neighbor as we love ourselves. (Mark 12: 29-31)

Of course, when we humans think of love our minds generally jump first to the love that one man and one woman share. In my opinion this is one of the greatest gifts God gave us. God in His wisdom saw that it was not good for man to be alone, and so He cre-ated the woman. God intended for man and woman to unite, share a life and bask in the magnificent gift of love, thereby honoring and worshipping Him. Love is something marvelous that definitely deserves to be hon-ored and celebrated. This is why I think the concept of Valentine’s Day is a good one; it is a day to meditate upon love and take time and effort to show others what they mean to us. Now, there are those who would say that Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a money-making machine and has been so commercialized that it has lost its meaning.

First of all, florists need to live too. Sec-ond, Valentine’s Day will only ever have as much meaning as you allow it to have. If you grudgingly buy your girlfriend a rose or

two (or just let your mother pick out some-thing for you) and do nothing special all day, then yes, Valentine’s Day will have no meaning for you and I understand why you don’t enjoy it.

At this point I would like to suggest an alternative (I am speaking primarily to my male audience). Valentine’s Day offers an enormous opportunity. This is a day where you can contemplate what love really means in a biblical sense and also spoil your wom-an in any way you can imagine. I do not understand the men that complain about “having” to buy their girlfriends presents on Valentine’s Day. Our girlfriends’ happiness should always be first and foremost on our minds, and our constant mission should be to conjure a smile on their faces. Valentine’s Day gives us a chance to dream up some-thing extraordinarily special and romantic to amaze them and let them know how spe-cial they are to us.

Let us as Christians move beyond what commercialism has made Valentine’s Day and use February 14 to celebrate God’s love for us (which you can do even if you’re sin-gle) and show our significant others that we appreciate and love them.

On the Heart: Reflecting on Valentine’s Day

Go Encounter trips are in-credibly exciting! All students are required to have some inter-cultural experience before they graduate. Packing to go over-seas can be a massive headache, but if you pack lightly, it will be much easier.

Checked bags have been known to get lost or even dam-aged in transit from one country to another. To avoid this, Profes-sor Kim Reiff has found that it is much easier to travel with only a carry-on and one personal item. She is leading the Go Encounter trip to London and Paris at the end of this semester.

Reiff has made more than one trip to Europe and finds that trav-elling light is the best way to go. She carries a backpack and a day bag. In her day bag are the es-sentials: a bottle of water, some-thing to snack on, a bit of money and, of course, her sketchbook and pencils and a camera.

As a traveler in a place you have probably never been, it makes sense to carry your pass-

port with you. But you don’t want it to get lost or stolen. The best way to carry it, Reiff has discovered, is in a small bag that goes around your neck and can hang under your clothing, pref-erably with a thick strap. She carries a small bag about the size of CD case that contains her passport, plane tickets, and cred-it cards with her everywhere and is not afraid of losing it or some-one stealing it.

If a checked bag is not go-ing to be used, Reiff says that a backpack is a must. Durability is key, but not mountain climber durability. The backpacks with the metal contraptions for hiking will only be a hassle when you are traveling in crowded areas, especially airports.

As to what clothes you should bring, make sure you are aware of the weather, wherever you are traveling. Choose a comfort-able outfit that you wear both days you are on the airplane. Reiff packs three pairs of pants and three tops that can be worn in any combination. She also carries a light rain jacket, just in case. Socks and other under-

garments should be a high pri-ority to pack. Reiff chooses to pack clothing in Ziploc bags that are easier to store. Comfortable walking shoes should be worn during the day, but Reiff packs a pair of sandals for evenings.

Remember Global Perspec-tives and being aware of culture? European churches may require covered shoulders and close-toed shoes. Be aware of this and carry a shirt to slip over your shoulders. Make sure you know your itinerary and plan to wear appropriate shoes.

Keep the airline liquid restrictions in mind: any-thing over three ounc-es will not be allowed. Shampoo and conditioner should be placed in a plas-tic bag and be e a s i l y acces-s i b l e f o r a i r -p o r t secu-rity.

O f

course, if you get the chance to travel to a different country, you will remember friends and fam-ily back home. Make sure you have room in your bag for the gifts you buy. Map out a budget before you go so that you can af-ford souvenirs.

Wherever you go, these tips can be useful in minimizing has-sles at the airport. As Reiff says, “The less fuss, the better!”

Do you plan on staying around the area for the summer? Maybe you’re looking for a decent yet cheap place to live and a place to work? If you look around, there are plenty of tremendous opportunities at any one of the numer-ous surrounding camps. Some camps offer room and board while others do not offer housing and may only offer food at meal times, depending on the camp of your choice. Just to name a couple, some of the camps in this area include Quaker Haven Camp and Camp Crosley.

Quaker Haven Camp is located on Lake Dewart in Syracuse, Ind. They offer room and board and three paid days off during the summer as well as one paid day off per week. Some of the

jobs include kitchen duty, lifeguarding, housekeeping, and grounds keeping. Quaker Haven offers camp for kinder-gartners through high school seniors and also provides specialized camps to groups each year. Camp Manager Bran-don Dennis is always looking for new faces, kind hearts, and good workers, and also currently he has a shortage of lifeguards for the upcoming summer. For more information about Quaker Haven Camp or for an application, you can visit their website at quakerhaven.com

Camp Crosley is located on Lake Tippecanoe in North Webster, Ind., and is a camp run through the YMCA programs. This camp also offers room and board and has different positions currently open, including waterfront positions, kitchen staff positions, camp counselor positions, and numerous

others. Camp Crosley offers camp for children ages 7 to 15. They pride them-selves on the fact that they try to have at least one international summer staffer each year and that they offer a variety of activities for campers such as canoeing and horseback riding. For more infor-mation about Camp Crosley or for an application, you can visit their website at campcrosley.org.

There are numerous other local camps in the area such as Camp Ella J. Logan Girl Scout Camp in Syracuse, Ind.; Camp Alexander Mack in Milford, Ind.; and Camp Adventure in North Webster, Ind. These are just a few of the numer-ous camps around the area that offer a great opportunity for responsibility, and many of them offer a chance to grow closer to God. Many of the camps made their applications available on February first, so don’t wait, apply today.

Over Christmas break, I and 10 other stu-dents from Grace College travelled with Dr. Johnson to Atlanta, Ga. The trip was an expe-rience I will never forget, especially since I’m a senior. Before I arrived in Atlanta, I assumed that the inner city was rough, fast, and predict-able. Honestly, the inner city was rough and fast, but it was hardly predictable. While walk-ing the streets, you never knew who you might walk into or who would approach and ask you for money. It was definitely a different culture than what I am used to. I never understood why someone would cover themselves with tattoos, fight over any hint of disrespect, and live such a rough life until I walked through the streets of inner city Atlanta. In the city, people have to put on a front of no fear. While riding on the subway you could feel how lonely the people were. It was an “everyman for himself” atmo-sphere, and you could see it on people’s faces. I realized how blessed I am to not live through such loneliness.

One big highlight of my week in Atlanta was experiencing my first NFL game at the Georgia Dome. The dome was 100 times loud-er than any college basketball game. It was very neat taking a tour of the dome two days later and actually walking out on the field. Just being able to say I stood on the 10-yard line of the Georgia Dome is amazing. We also attended a Georgia Tech basketball game in their brand-new gym. The home crowd and atmosphere was very entertaining; the fans shouted everything they said. We also toured Turner field, Martin Luther King’s home and church, and Centennial Park. The tours were very personal and we got to see all the behind-the-scenes stuff. For example, we heard how much seats cost inside the big arenas.

The last part of the trip I want to touch on is the food. The food was so amazing, especial-ly since I am a country boy; it felt just like I was at home, eating some good, home-cooked food. My favorite meal in Atlanta was the clas-sic chicken and waffles. The chicken wings were the biggest I have ever seen, and the waffles were delicious. I really appreciated the hospitality offered at all the local restaurants. I

felt right at home. Our group tried many of the famous restaurants inside Atlanta and I never once said, “This really isn’t good.” The food down South was very delicious.

The day before we left, we met up with Global Encompass and helped them work at a local church. I was really encouraged by what Global Encompass was doing down there with their time. The church we helped was so di-verse in culture. We helped them with their lo-cal bike shop that reaches out to the communi-ty. Most of the guys helped with this and it was a fun time. We built a bike rack and moved a bunch of bikes around to reorganize the shop. The church was a big blessing to me because they were so focused on reaching out to the community and leading the lost to Christ. It encouraged me to come home and to take more of a stand in my community. It would be so much easier in a culture that is more relaxed than in an inner city. If believers can reach out to the lost there, then I believe I need to start trying harder to reach out to the lost here at home, get them into church and point them to-wards Christ.

One of the trips that students get credit for their cross-cultural experience is the trip to Atlanta, which is mainly geared toward stu-dents from the sports management program. Dr. Johnson leads this annual excursion, so who better to interview about this trip than Dr. J himself? This is the fourth annual trip to At-lanta for sport management students. No matter what anyone says, there are several stereotypes in the world of sports. The purpose of this trip is for students to see and learn about the culture of sports through the eyes of African-Amer-ican athletes. Dr. Johnson states, “One of the biggest focuses during this trip is to visit the African-American Sports Museum.” There are three former professional athletes that the stu-dents hear from, including Howard Williams (Museum Director), Carl Seldon (the first Af-rican-American PGA club pro in Georgia), and Norman Lumpkin, who played in the Negro Baseball League. Lumpkin was an outfielder for the Atlanta Black Crackers. Dr. Johnson states that “Lumpkin is currently 95-years-old,

so it was a privilege to hear from him again.”There are two great restaurants to visit on

the Atlanta trip. Dr. Johnson explained, “It is al-ways a tradition to visit Mary Mac’s Tea Room (a traditional Southern restaurant), and Gladys Knight’s Chicken and Waffles.” Dr. Johnson also mentioned,“Two sites that are always a highlight to visit are the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site and Auburn Avenue, which is known as the “richest black street in Ameri-ca.’” A few of the sporting events that the stu-dents over the last four years have had the op-portunity to witness include Atlanta Hawks and Falcons games, as well as Georgia Tech basket-ball games. Another highlight that Dr. Johnson mentioned was “Getting to tour the Georgia Dome, Turner Field, Philips Arena, and Cen-tennial Olympic Park.” When I asked Dr. John-son about the tour of the Georgia Dome, I knew it must have been a really long tour because the stadium is so big. Dr. Johnson answered, “The Georgia Dome is an all-afternoon tour.” Ac-cording to Dr. Johnson, another great highlight that everybody seems to enjoy is “Riding the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) trains and buses.”

The last few highlights of this trip include attending Sunday morning services at the Big Bethel Methodist Church (a black church). Dr. Johnson recalled that “This church had a lot of energy and passion.” A place the group visit-ed was Doraville, which is a little bit north of Atlanta and is the headquarters of Encompass World Partners. I asked Dr. Johnson if he had noticed anything that had changed or if he no-ticed anything different after going on this trip four times. Dr. Johnson stated, “The only things I noticed that changed were the different groups of students.” Dr. Johnson talked about a few different goals for this trip. He said these goals were for “The students to change their views of culture and African-Americans, and for the students to realize that the African-American’s view of America is different than the white’s view of America.” Dr. Johnson also said, “One neat thing about the last two years of this trip is that my dad went with us. He would wear a pedometer to measure how far we would walk over the week, which came out to approximate-ly 35 miles.” I hope to go on this trip next year so I can experience this for myself. This has to be an eye-opening and a life-changing trip!

ATLANTA 2012

The world of football, or “soccer,” as many call it, took a hit last week. It came to be known that there was in-vestigation from an association called Europol that stated that there were up to 680 matches that were “fixed” in recent years. This is very troubling and troublesome because this in-volves matches in the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League which are two of the biggest com-petitions in the world and the most widely watched. Fans may not know that their teams cheat or are cheated during huge events such as these. This is not the first time that this kind of information has been brought out. There were similar investigations that came out involving match fixing in both 2006 and 2012 which took place in Italy and Turkey.

Match fixing can have a bad effect on football fans all over the globe. Fans like the integrity of the game and enjoy seeing a match that is won by the players and not by the referees’ calls. Many might argue that cheating the game can bring the sport closer to an end. As a football fan, I hope this will not have an effect on the sport’s future and on the upcoming World

Cup next year in Brazil. Professional sports have the chance to exist because of the grace of their credibility. Sports such as football are the ultimate reality television, and anything that can taint or give them a bad reputation can help them lose appeal in some way.

Many might ask, do sports have such a big part in this modern day

that people feel the need to cheat just to find satisfaction in winning and obtaining fame? Aren’t sports just a game? Sports are just for entertain-ment and we should not have to fix games to help fans feel better. If the game is cheated, then what good is it

in the first place? The fact of the mat-ter is, fans do not like seeing the game they love cheating in. The team that is deemed better and more deserving to win should have the chance to show that on the pitch, and match fixing merely prohibits this from happening. As Jurgen Klinsmann stated in an in-terview, “FIFA has to go in there and

clean everything up with no compro-mises at all.” He also stated that he was part of a team back in his years as a player where his team, Monaco, lost many French championships twenty or twenty-five years ago because it be-came known that Marseille, a huge ri-

val team of Monaco, was fixing games against Klinsmann’s club. This is not the first case where this has happened, and many fans believe that this is real-ly putting a stain on the game’s cred-ibility.

Many fans believe we have enough to worry about considering there is no replay video to help referees on the pitch and that this scandal is just an-other huge problem to worry about. FIFA must act fast because players such as Jurgen Klinsmann who have been beaten out of titles because of match fixing do not deserve this and should be rewarded for their hard work and good play during matches. This scandal might have really taken a sense of trust out of the game. Fans may not have the same ability to trust the legitimacy of the matches because of huge scandals such as these.

The problem is, we will never be able to know if a match we are watch-ing on television or attending is fairly being played. There will always be that feeling that a team may have it

better than another because of a refer-ee’s call which may be the wrong one. As fans, we must hope that the sport’s credibility in the future will be so sin-cere that scandals such as these can be forgotten which will inherently bring the sport up as a whole.
