Grace College, Winona Lake, INJanuary 31, 2013Volume 59, Issue No. 16

The experience of walking around D.C. for the Inauguration was a very interesting experience. Being the po-litical junkie that I am, I really just enjoyed the atmosphere: Americans hustling through the streets to see their president sworn in…. It was a really cool snapshot of democracy in Ameri-ca. Whether you support the president or not, you cannot attend an event like that and not be swelling with pride for your country. Of course, it was a bit unfortunate because our JumboTron wasn’t working--government at its finest.  I did listen to Obama’s speech later that night, but I won’t include my thoughts on that. Aside from the Inaugural festivities, we were able to do a lot of sight seeing. This included visiting my favorite memorial in D.C., the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Not only that, but we had the opportuni-ty to see the new Martin Luther King memorial on MLK day. Doesn’t get any cooler than that! I also saw Rep. Charlie Rangle being driven around town in a PT Cruiser. I had the goal of seeing at least one senator or repre-sentative while we were there, so my eyes were peeled.

We also had a really unique experi-ence getting to stay with host families from a church in Fredrick, Md., where Peter Wolff’s father-in-law is an asso-

ciate pastor. Danielle Rupp and I got to stay with the cutest little old lady. We called her Grandma Vickie. She treated us like her own grandkids. Needless to say, we were all spoiled at our host homes for the most part.

I think my favorite part, hands down, was getting to know the people on the trip. We all knew each other somewhat from Senate meetings, but we got to know each other more and saw everyone’s personality come out,

which turned out to be a hilarious ex-perience. I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard and so much in such a short period of time.

And a shout-out to Peter Wolff on his DJ-ing and speed-walking skills.

There are very few things that epitomize the Unit-ed States more than the Presidential Inauguration. It is marvelous to see our government function beyond theory, books, movies, and television. It is breathtak-ing to witness our freedoms at work. For me this was a trip that I could only dream about, and it was filled with coincidences that still haunt me to this day. Let me first start by stating a few things that made this trip so much more memorable: neither I nor any of my family (including extended family) have ever been to the East Coast or Washington, D.C., So when I was experiencing this adventure, I was literally the first one ever of my relatives to do these things. This 

brought an enormous sense of excitement and humil-ity to the occasion. Imagine how much more embel-lished everything was for me. I had only ever seen the monuments, the buildings, the historic places in history books and movies. Yet there I was, viewing Ford’s Theater, imagining George Washington stand-ing on the banks of the Potomac, walking on the road where the body of John F. Kennedy was en route to Arlington, standing on the place where Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed, “Let freedom ring!” Although I am not a history major, I cherished every bit of these places because they are my heritage just as much as they are yours.

Another key point was the Inauguration itself. Not only was the day itself electrifying, but the oth-

er elements embellished the day. First the irony of Martin Luther King Jr. day with the second inaugu-ration of an African-American president; everywhere we went that had any significance to civil rights was so inspiring. Standing inside the Lincoln memorial and reading his second inaugural address shook me to the core. This might sound cliché, but there are no words to describe the feelings one experiences as he is a part of history. To spend a day in the most pow-erful city in the world, is one that everyone should be a part of. Furthermore, I enjoyed getting to meet new friends who made me laugh as much as I made them laugh. To me there could have been no better way to spend a magnificent adventure than with good friends, great fun and lots of awesomeness.

Student Profile: Meet Jessica Taylor

Can you tell me a little about your-self? Where you’re from, your family, etc.

I’m from Kent, Wash. I grew up in

a Christless home and was saved at a Superbowl Party Outreach at 13 and started attending youth group at Kent Grace Brethren Church, which then led me to come to Grace College to play volleyball in 1998.

You’re a Grace alumnus. What did you major in? Why did you stay in the area?

I majored in Spanish and Jour-

nalism, then added a Master’s in Counseling in 2007. I met my hus-band, David Lewis, at Grace, and we had planned to be missionaries to Argentina, but God redirected us to remain in Winona Lake to serve Him in different capacities.

Are you a certified fitness instruc-tor?

Yes. I am a certified Step Aero-

bics and Group Fitness instructor, and hold licenses for Zumba, Zum-baToning and ZumbAtomic (Zum-ba for Kids).

Why do you teach Zumba classes? What’s so great about Zumba? Why should people be interested?

In 2006, I herniated three disks

in my back which left me unable to walk, sit or stand for several months. This was due to lack of ex-ercise and poor eating habits that weakened my core muscles. After my sons were born, those disks broke off into my spine and required surgery. I now have to work out rigorously to be able to maintain full use of my back and manage daily pain. Zumba was the only fitness class that target-ed my core in a safe way and burned

the calories I needed to lose weight and get back in shape. I’m passionate about Zumba because it approaches exercise as FUN, along with a sense of

community. You push yourself harder when you enjoy the activity. People should be interested in Zumba be-cause it is an unparalleled total body workout. There are few classes where you jump, squat, cha-cha, crunch, spin, shuffle, balance and challenge

your hand-eye coordination all in one hour all while listening to great music!

What are your goals for the Zumba class? What would you like to accom-plish?

My main goal is to give God

glory. He healed my body enough to allow me to dance again, so I fig-ure He deserves “the floor.” It’s not easy, though, and requires a lot of wrestling through each song, each move, putting all my ideas and plans before Him to do things His way, not mine. After all, HE determines how we worship Him, not us! Also, I long to spur on my participants to radically pursue SPIRITUAL fit-ness, which is of ETERNAL benefit. These bodies will be replaced some-day! But the effort it takes to keep physically fit is a great reminder of the work we must daily put into keeping ourselves close to Jesus.

Any other information?

I keep class cost as low as possi-ble to bless people (average Zumba classes run $8 per class) and a por-tion of the proceeds go to orphan care, medical missions and helping fellow missionaries go out into the field. The rest goes to paying for op-erational costs and maintaining my licenses.

Join me at the GRC on Tues-

day nights: 9-10 p.m. and Friday mornings: 9:15-10:15 a.m. Cost is $1 per class (students), $2 alumni/staff/community member. Check my

website (lindsayklewis.zumba.com)for class info, news, cancellations and to leave comments/suggestions. As al-ways, I deeply appreciate your prayer support and involvement!

Jessica Taylor is a recognizable face on Grace campus. We’ve seen her on stage in Grace’s theatrical and musical productions. We know her as one of the founding members of Mosaic. But there’s a lot more to

Jessica Taylor than you might know.Taylor is a junior with a double

major in Intercultural Studies and Drawing and Painting, and says the combination  is  a  “perfect  fit”  for her. She plans to use her majors to help her reach her career goals: get-ting involved in foreign missions by using art as a ministry.

Since she was young, Taylor has been interested in creative arts. Since childhood, she has been in-volved in theater and music, and started to concentrate on the visual arts in high school. A painter since age 9, she enjoys both watercol-or and oils. She also loves ceram-ics, saying she likes its “hands-on” and “messy” qualities. Taylor is also musical and plays the flute, the saxophone, and the bassoon. It will come to no surprise to Grace stu-dents who have seen her in perfor-mances like “Curtains” that Taylor has performed in over 20 musicals.

And when it comes to down-time, Taylor loves to crochet.

Taylor’s favorite visual art sub-jects are portraits. “I like to convey something through the eyes,” she explains.

She’s not just an artist; Taylor also has an entrepreneurial spirit. In addition to selling some of the pottery she makes, Taylor found-ed a photography business she has run for two years, specializing in engagement shoots and similar oc-casions. She also sells necklaces for a friend she met during her experi-ence in Uganda in summer 2011.

Taylor spent two months in Uganda, working with African In-land Mission, an organization that rescues kids from the streets. Taylor cited the experience as “the hardest time in my life; the most stretching and sanctifying experience.”

Taylor has decided to take her experience in Uganda and use it to

inspire her artwork. Her art will be a part of Communitas.

Grace, according to Taylor, has “opened my eyes more to a deep-er, richer understanding of Christ.” Through the community and friend-ships here, she has had the oppor-tunity to form her theology about art and Christianity. “Art has a tre-mendous power to shape and touch a person’s heart or even a culture,” she explains.

Her advice to Grace students is to be  “real  and  transparent,  confident in who God has made them to be.” Taylor says she has had the oppor-tunity to do this in her own artwork.

What’s next for Taylor? Her globe-trotting is far from over, as she plans to study abroad in Ven-ice this fall. Grace is lucky to have a student as passionate about using her talents and abilities to impact her culture for God’s glory as Tay-lor.

It seems as if many of the New Year’s resolutions floating  around  lately  have had something to do with health. However, they mostly involve nutrition or exercise, rather than over-

all health. Of course eat-ing better and exercising more contributes to being healthy, but what about the everyday products we use on our skin such as soap and lotion? Just looking at the ingredients on a bottle of lotion or soap can help us see just how much res-idue these unnatural prod-ucts leave on our bodies. The question is, is there an alternative? Obviously, we shouldn’t stop using these commodities altogether, since people might not ap-preciate it if we quit using soap. Fortunately, we have alternative options that are rather close to Grace.

In The Village at Winona, there is a shop called Sacs & Co., and the thing they do best is making all natu-

ral products. From soap to lotion, Sacs & Co. carries a wide variety of homemade goods, including but not limited to: candles, poison ivy relief, therapeutic scents, shaving products, natu-ral remedies, and yarrow sticks. Grace freshmen and Sacs & Co. employee, Alisa Frankland, explains yarrow sticks: “They are basical-ly natural Neosporin, but better.” Frankland shares what are some of “the soap shop’s” best scents. “My absolute favorite is Key West, which is one of the best-selling scents, along with Aloe Lemon Grass, and Boyfriend.” Frankland loves her job because her boss, “Lauri Isle, is really nice, and she enjoys learn-ing new things like making

natural products.” Lastly, Frankland admits that the products are “moderately priced but all natural and healthy.”

Even if being healthi-er isn’t your personal New Year’s resolution, it’s never too late to start helping your body feel better! There is so much to learn about being healthier on the outside, and a good place to start is right around the corner at Sacs & Co. For more information, you can either visit their website at www.sacsandco.com or, as Frankland said, “Just stop in for a visit!”

Healthy and Clean?

Have you seen the new tumblers on campus? These tumblers are specially de-signed by a group of Grace students including: Paul Kent, Katie Blemker, JT Jacobson, Ben Cahill, Joseph Nishimo-to, Tyler Cherry, Mike Depos-itar, Mike Reitz, Phil Bieri, Caitlin Steiner, Ryan Ramey, Janna Lodwick, and Morgan Michalski.

These students were part of a new business class, En-trepreneurship and Services Practicum. This class pro-vides hands-on experience for business majors, which results in applied learning credit and credit hours.

The practicum requires stu-dents to form a company and

create a business through it. The goal is to run the business as realistically as possible.

How does one get a group of college students to create a business? Once that business is created, how does one de-cide what to sell?

It is no easy process. This particular group of students had to start with simply meet-ing to brainstorm ideas for products. Once the group picked a few of the top ideas, they were individually as-signed an item to research sta-tistically with sales, costs, and product pricing.

After choosing the product, each individual went out to survey 25 people to see what colors and designs would do best, and to guesstimate how well the product would sell. For the tumblers, the group surveyed about 200 people, a

mix of faculty and students.The group put together a

powerpoint presentation to pitch the product to a board of  loan  officers.  The  officers granted a $5,000 loan for the production and selling of the tumblers.

After that, the group simply had to sell them. The market-ing team within the group put up posters across campus, cre-ated a slide for chapel, adver-tised with sidewalk chalk, and ran a Facebook and Twitter page. Word began to spread, and the tumblers began to sell.

450 tumblers, 225 red and 225 black total, were pro-duced and sold. Jana Lodwick designed the logo specifically for the tumbler. All the tum-blers were sold. When asked about the business and how they accomplished it, Katie Blemker said, “Our profes-

sor wanted each department to come together and be like a team rather than individual departments. In the end, I re-ally think we came together as a team, and that was when things began to fall into place for us.”

The group did not simply create a business, but they went out and did 10 hours of community service at Our Fa-ther’s House. Blemker said, “We did not want it to be just a business, but a service as well.”

The group paid back the loan in full and still made a $1,257.87  profit. Most  of  the profit will  go  to  an  organiza-tion of the group’s choosing, while the rest will go back to the Business Department to cover the cost for future proj-ects.

We have all heard the stories that begin, “Once upon a time, in a far-away land,” and end, “and they all lived happily ever after,” but what about those stories with a twist? For example, in the story of Hansel and

Gretel, the brother and sister are lost in the woods, and they drop bread-crumbs  to  find  their way  back  home again. They stumble upon a house made out of candy where, unknown to them, a witch lives who eats chil-dren. After fattening the children up, the witch plans to cook Hansel and Gretel, but the pair out-smarts her, throwing her into the furnace, and the siblings follow the breadcrumbs back home. However, that’s not the way every version of Hansel and Gretel goes. As of Friday, January 25, 2013, a new movie called “Hansel and Gre-tel: Witch Hunters” was released. The beginning of the movie depicts Han-sel and Gretel as children, only there are no breadcrumbs and no returns to their home, all safe and sound. As in the most popular version, they kill the witch, but the story doesn’t end there; they grow up to be bounty hunters, tracking down and killing witches across the land. There is a plot twist in the middle of the movie involving a troll and a few witches; it left every-one in the theater speechless and awe-struck. Overall, how was this movie?

This movie was absolutely phenom-enal. Although “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” is rated R for gory vi-olence, the movie had quality content and lots of action. The scenery and even some of the gore made it seem as if the movie were coming to life right there in the theater. Other than com-menting that “the little kid that was in the theater will have nightmares,” Doug Corl, a high school senior had this to say about the movie: “At first, I thought it was going to be lame, and I only came to see it because it was my girlfriend’s turn to pick the movie … In the end, it ended up being a great film, and  let’s  just  say, my mind was blown.”

Not only was there a never-be-fore-seen twist in this childhood fairy-tale, but there was action, adventure, and a little bit of romance. But how does it turn out for Hansel and Gretel, and what about the troll and the witch-es? There is only one way to answer these questions; you will just have to go see the movie yourself and hope for a happily ever after.

We are all familiar with the story of Moses lead-ing Israel out of Egypt to the Promised Land. If you recall, Israel was enslaved by the pharaoh because he feared that if Egypt went to war, the Hebrews would rebel and fight with the nation attacking Egypt be-cause the Israelites had grown in great number. He even tried to get the midwives to kill the infant He-brew boys as they were being born so that the popu-lation would go down, but the midwives feared God and refused to kill the babies.

In Exodus 2, Moses is introduced and it is ex-plained why he ends up being a shepherd in Midian.

What They Would Say Stephen Hartman

We are all familiar with the story of Moses lead-ing Israel out of Egypt to the Promised Land. If you recall, Israel was enslaved by the pharaoh because he feared that if Egypt went to war, the Hebrews would rebel and fight with the nation attacking Egypt be-cause the Israelites had grown in great number. He even tried to get the midwives to kill the infant He-brew boys as they were being born so that the popu-lation would go down, but the midwives feared God and refused to kill the babies.

In Exodus 2, Moses is introduced and it is ex-plained why he ends up being a shepherd in Midian.

At the end of the chapter, the Bible says that pha-raoh died and a new man took over, but the people of Israel continued to be in slavery and they cried and mourned to the Lord. Verse 24 and 25 say, “So God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob, and God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.”

At  first  these  verses  sound  like  God  forgot  He made a promise to Abraham and his descendants, but this is not the case. Exodus 3:6-9 shows us that God knew what the Israelites were going through and that it was His chosen time to deliver them out of Egypt and to bring them to the land He promised to Abra-ham. After this, God sent ten plagues on Egypt until Pharaoh released the Israelites from their captivity.

Our God is a faithful promise keeper. Hebrews 13:8 says that our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, so the God in the Old Testament is the exact same God in the New Testament and the exact same God right now. He does not change. Thus, since God kept His promises to Abraham and to the nation of Israel. He will continue to keep His prom-ises that He made to us in the New Testament.

For example, John 10:28-30 says that Jesus gives eternal life and that believers will never lose that sal-vation. John 3:16 says that Jesus died for the whole world, so anyone can be forgiven. John 14:2, 3 says that Jesus has prepared a place for us in heaven and

will return to bring us to that home. John 14:26, 27 say the Holy Spirit will come after Jesus would ascend, and that He was leaving His peace with His followers. One of my favorites is Matthew 28:20. Jesus is ascending to Heaven and tells His disciples to go into the entire world and teach people what He taught them, and then He says, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Believers are the bride of Christ, and He is staying committed to us; He will never leave us, never ever. In our darkest times, when we stumble or fail, Christ is there and He still continues to love us.

This list is only a portion of what God promises to us, but we can be confident that He will be faithful to carry out His promises. God does not have a habit of breaking His promises. If God broke a promise, then He would be a liar and thus just as faithful as any other human is. If God were not faithful, Israel may have never gotten to the Promised Land, and we would have no assurance that we are truly saved, but our God has a perfect record; He has never broken a promise. It is awesome that our God is so faithful, even though we mess up so often. If you are carry-ing some burdens now, just meditate on the faith-fulness of God, and let that bring joy back into your life. Let God handle the situation; He is faithful and will carry you through.

The Minutes

Senate meetings this week kicked off with discussions re-garding a town hall meeting sometime in the relatively near future. Your student representa-tives want to hear what you have to say regarding issues such as opportunities for musicians to practice on campus and third dining option. More details on an opportunity to make your voice heard will follow in the weeks to come.

Also in discussion were TOL’s extended hours from Wednesday through Friday. While the bookstore and coffee shop is open until midnight, Sen-ate wants to ensure TOL is get-ting enough students are there to make them feel like it’s worth keeping the place open those hours. Senate would like to gauge student opinion before offering any suggestions. Do you use TOL to study or hang out late? Which nights of the week would you be more inclined to use TOL’s later hours? Talk to your representa-tives and let them know what you

think!Senate also discussed

Grace’s involvement with chang-ing Indiana’s Safe Harbor law. The campus group involved with this initiative is looking to start a petition all Indiana residents can sign, as well as partner with other Indiana campuses. Talk to Ashley Mazelin or your representative to  find  out  how  you  can  get  in-volved.

There was also some debate regarding newspaper subscrip-tions in Morgan Library. Several students are interested in having a school subscription to anoth-er publication such as The New York Times or The Washing-ton Post. In order to help Senate know if this is something stu-dents would be interested in, con-tact your representative. (Sensing a theme yet?)

Finally, Senate deliberated over and approved budgets for campus clubs this year.

The next Senate meeting will be held on February 11 at 10:30 a.m. in McClain 103. Remember, all meetings are open to the pub-lic!  Come  find  out what’s  being discussed and ensure your voice

Many consider the Super Bowl to be the single most watched event on television. Next Sunday night, the two best teams will face off in a suspenseful four quarters that will determine who wins the ul-timate prize, the Lombardi Trophy. The 2012-2013 NFL season has done nothing less than spoil football fans across the globe. From out-standing rookie-year performances to the defending NFL champions falling out prior to the playoffs, this season has been especially unique since unknown players have stepped up and delivered dramatically. Colin Kaepernick was unknown at the be-ginning of the season. Now he will attempt to lead the San Francisco 49ers  to  their first Super Bowl win since 1994. The Niners have won five Super Bowls in their history. What an accom-plishment it would be for Kaepernick to win a Su-per Bowl as well, joining other huge-name Niners quarterbacks ,including Joe Montana and Steve Young, to lift the Lombardi Trophy.

The Niners will face a team with much passion and will power on their side: the Baltimore Ra-

vens. The Ravens have overcome many obstacles this year; they have lost key players throughout the whole season, such as Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs. These two might have the heart and soul of this AFC Champion squad. The big difference came a few weeks ago when Ray Lewis announced he would

retire following the end of the season. This might have caused the Ravens to go on a hot streak and beat the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots on the road to reach a Super Bowl that they have not reached in twelve years. This team is no fluke and will be a tough team to beat in this game. The 49ers and Ravens have not had the most intense battles in  history. This Super Bowl will  be  only  the fifth 

match-up between the two teams since 1996. They have never faced one another in a Super Bowl. The Ravens are leading head-to-head match-ups three games to one before next week’s big game.

Perhaps the biggest headline going into this game is that, for the first time in NFL history, there will be 

two brothers facing one another in a Super Bowl. John, meet Jim. Jim, meet John. One is the coach of the Ravens, and the other is the coach of the 49ers. Next week’s game has gotten a nickname, the “Harbowl.” This is huge as one member of the Harbaugh family will win and the other will lose. This may be a good thing and bad thing at the same time. It will be very interesting to see what attitude both of these mas-terminds have, going into this his-torical moment.

Many questions remain go-ing into this match-up. Will Colin Kaepernick win a Super Bowl as a rookie? Will Ray Lewis go out as

a champion? Will a Harbaugh family member win a Super Bowl? Well, that’s a little more likely. One thing is certain, expect a close and de-fensive game when these two squads compete next week to seek the 2013 NFL championship.

We also had a couple of people sick and limited with minor injuries,” said Grace head coach Jeff Ray-mond. “However, we competed hard and placed among the top six in virtually every event we entered. I think we were able to see some of the potential this team has once we gain more experience this season.”

The all-freshman relay team of Josh Reichard, Nathan Brown, Seth Booker and Lance Taylor set the school record in the 4x200-meter relay in a time of 1:34.78. Brown continued his strong performance by winning the high jump event in a school-record mark of 1.88m. Sabrina Whitaker in her first collegiate event tied a school record and qualified for NCCAA Nationals in the high jump with a height of 1.53m. Kaitlyn Mikel was a standout for Grace on the field side of competition. She won the weight throw event and set a school record with a 14.16m and went onto qualify for NCCAA Nationals in the shot put by tossing 10.89m. Jenna McClel-lan also won the mile race in a time of 5:39.03.Two other Lancers met the NCCAA national marks – Donovan Graham (800m) and Kaitlyn Faulkner (60 hurdles).Grace’s season continues next weekend at the IWU Invitational.
