Beech Grove City Council
Meeting July 7, 2014
Greenwood Common Council
Meeting July 7, 2014
n What happened? Ordinance no. 14-29,
which would allow paid time off donation
policy between employees, passed its second reading 7-0.
n What happened? Old News: Ordinance
3 was tabled. Ordinances 6 and 7 were
passed on the third readings. Ordinances 8
and 9 were passed to a third reading.
n What it means: With the passing of this
ordinance city employees will be able to
donate their personal paid time off hours
into a kind of emergency fund for other
employees who have used up all their own
personal paid time off amidst a medical
emergency or family crisis. Note: it may not
be specified to whom time should be donated, as that goes against the regulations
set by the IRS.
n What it means: Ordinance 3 regards
animals owned in city limits. Residents
have protested as to why they should be
allowed to keep their poultry. This will be
voted on at the next meeting. Ordinance 6
will amend the employee handbook to call
for a drug-free workplace. Ordinance 7 will
require hotels, motels and places of lodging to obtain a license from the city. Ordinance 8 is in regard to the fair housing act
and Ordinance 9 will allow for the parks department to obtain funds generated from a
telephone tower at Hartman field.
n What’s next: The Board of Works policy,
which must be compliant with IRS stipulations, will be finalized and soon city employees will be able to donate paid time
off, so long as they have at least 80 hours of
their own remaining. Time can be donated
at any time except during January.
……………
n What happened? The City of Greenwood released its first ever Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2013.
n What it means: According to a release
from the City, the CAFR document, which
may be viewed at the city’s website, greenwood.in.gov, “contains the City’s complete
financial statements, as well as other financial and statistical information to provide a
more in depth and sophisticated report. It
also contains information about the local
economy, the structure of the City government, the City’s financial policies, and significant City projects.”
n What’s next: This is a strong first step towards transparency in government, which
many believe is a step in the right direction.
This could also allow Greenwood access to
better bond ratings in the future and improve financial security and economic development for the city.

city council meeting.
………………
n What happened? Ordinances 10, 11 and
12 were introduced and went through first
reading.
n What it means: Ordinance 10 regards
the board of zoning appeals. Fees for filing will be adjusted and increased accordingly. Ordinance 11 proposed a three-way
stop for 7th Ave. and Cleveland to address a
speeding issue. This would require two new
stop signs. Ordinance 12 proposed a fourway stop for Main Street and Tyson Court to
address a speeding issue. Police Chief Mark
Swartz addressed the council with a study
conducted by the police department. He
said the study showed an average speed of
28.6 mph in the 25 mph zone and did not
recommend additional stop signs.
n What’s next: The council will do a second reading on all three ordinances at the
Aug. 4 city council meeting.
In brief...
• A special presentation was held to recognize the Beech Grove High School
baseball team which was awarded a
plaque for their sectional win.
• A proposed agreement with the Beech
Grove City Court and the town of Clermont was introduced. Clermont will use
the Beech Grove courts, paying for all
costs in setting up the new program.

SOUTHPORT
Southport brought in its first and only compliance officer, Joyce Givens, seven years ago.
She says she spent the first few years just creating the awareness to residents of what the
ordinances are.
“Before in Southport, it was more of a
knock-and-talk deal,” Givens said. “You tell
them their grass is too tall, you come back two
days later and they have it cut. They would
comply.”
Southport will now sends out letters, too.
Last year, an agreement was made for Southport to use the Beech Grove court system, allowing them to enforce the ordinances. One
case has been taken to court through the compliance division.
“The purpose of the compliance division is
to keep the city, regardless of what city it is, to
keep it clean and make it a proud place to live.
No one wants to live beside junk and trash,
discarded vehicles. Keeping the city clean
helps keep the crime out, also.”
Overall, Givens said the residents of Southport respond well and comply with notices.
“The impact has been pretty good,” Givens
said. “The city has cleaned up considerably.
We have a long way to go, but it’s working.”
What are some things
compliance/code enforcement
officers typically look for?
• Grass can’t exceed 12 inches in Beech Grove.
It can’t exceed 10 inches in Southport.
• No tires can be stored outside, as it creates
an ideal environment for mosquitos.
• Firewood must be raised up off the ground.
• You can’t have a car parked in a yard.
Inoperable vehicles, with expired plates, no
plates or flat tires, are illegal to have it on
your property.
• You can’t have a basketball goal in the road
when it’s not in use.

READERS' WRITES
To the editor,
It has been one year since my family took
a job in Indianapolis, left the east coast, and
started a new chapter of our lives in Southside
Indy. We love our new home for many reasons. Our neighborhoods are established and
beautiful, we have been warmly welcomed by
the community, and my commute to work is
reasonable. But there is something else which
makes us particularly grateful to be living
where we are; something that is unique to our
area. We are living among one of the largest
communities of Chin (Burmese) refugees in
the country.
Shortly after moving in, I had the opportunity along with a couple of missionaries
from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, to help one of our Chin neighbors with
a yard project. We were subsequently invited to join our neighbors for a house-warming party. There we met a dozen families from
the Chin community. The evening was spent
eating traditional Chin food, singing hymns,
and listening to a sermon from Pastor Tluang
Thang. The Pastor spoke with deep emotion
of how much the Chin people want to be ac-
cepted as Americans. He asked that we locals
assist his community in their efforts to assimilate into American life. “We want to be Americans!” he told us. Then he added, “If we are doing anything wrong, please let us know.”
About 100 years ago American missionaries
brought Christianity to the Chin state which
is located on the west of Myanmar (Burma).
There the Chins are both religious and ethnic minorities and have been the victims of
tremendous oppression. Most Chins have arrived in America only after first escaping their
homeland and then waiting for a benefactor
to enable them to legally migrate to the US; a
process that takes many years. Every Chin refugee remembers family and loved ones who
were killed in Burma, and they still pray for
those they left behind. Pastor Thang and many
Chins have rejected the title of Burmese and
prefer to be known as Chins and Americans.
This story should sound familiar. There was
another group of refugees who crossed an
ocean to escape political and religious persecution a few hundred years ago. They would
become the founders of a country of liberty
and free will. The Chin refugees are modernday founding fathers for their posterity. They
may have crossed a different ocean than the
Pilgrims, and it may be 2014 instead of 1620,
but the Spirit of Liberty and God-given yearn-
ing for opportunity are universal and eternal
guiding stars for the human heart.
Since my first encounter with my Chin
neighbors, I have had the opportunity to meet
many more of them and spend time in more
of their homes. The Chins are patriotic, industrious, and frugal. They are deeply religious
and family-oriented. They are eager to learn
English and to become naturalized citizens,
and they are a happy and inspiring people. Of
course there are some among them who do
not always exemplify these qualities. But, the
Chins whom I have personally met are all good
people who represent a rebirth of the American Spirit in our community. Like the Native
Americans who welcomed the Pilgrims to this
land in their hour of need, may we also welcome the Chin people and give them our respect, love, patience and best examples as they
seek to establish their lives in this beautiful
country we all share.

Top ten reasons my mom
still worries about me

Stop the rhetoric
and start the family
Indianapolis experienced a violence-filled
Fourth of July like no other we can remember
in recent history. Between the shooting death
of IMPD officer Perry Renn, a Southside resident, last Saturday night and the shootings of
seven people in Broad Ripple (the shootings
there commenced because someone bumped
into someone else) last Friday, a black cloud
has hovered over our city this past week.
During that time, we’ve heard impassioned
pleas from clergy to community leaders, and,
at least one television anchor, to “stop the violence.” Yes, we want to stop the violence, too.
But merely echoing those words or using signage to articulate that message seems to do
very little to communicate that grand idea.
What people are angry about is hard to grasp.
What compels them to pull the trigger of a
gun is incomprehensible to the vast majority
of our citizenry.
The issue here, we believe, is this: There is a
tremendous lack of respect for human life. We
can blame it on many things, but the breakdown of the family is at the forefront. We are
positive data is on our side here as to the fact
that many of the people involved in gun-related crimes are products of single-family homes
with little-to-no support. In a May Gallup
Poll, 69 percent of Americans approved divorce. Need we say more?
The “stop the violence” rhetoric needs to
end and replaced with “start the family.”

Choosing the show Damn Yankees came
easy to the Beech Grove Theatre Guild directors, Scott Bradford, Lauren Baker and Andrew Busch, as they held auditions for the new
group’s first performance.
“When we walked in the hallway, I just saw
the cast members,” said Bradford, music chair
at Beech Grove High School. “I’m really happy
with the way it’s cast. The people in the main
roles will do a good job. This show was chosen
off the talent we saw and that we can invite
kids and adults to this production.”
Beech Grove High School will have a new
performing arts wing in a little more than two
years.
“I thought, well, we will have this new wing;
how can we involve the community more?”
Bradford said.
Bradford, Baker and Busch worked to form
The Beech Grove Theatre Guild with support
from the Beech Grove Education Foundation.
They invited adults, alumni and other schools
to audition for a community theater. Damn
Yankees, based on the novel The Year the Yankees Lost the Pannant by Douglass Wallop, is
a musical which will be performed at Beech
Grove High School in the Mike McMorrow
Auditorium on July 17, 18 and 19 at 7 p.m.
with a matinee on July 20, 2 p.m. Tickets are
$10 for adults and $8 for students and senior
citizens.
“(The audience) will be very impressed
with the talent,” Bradford said. “You have the
college kids in lead roles, doing this without
pay and they are dynamite… The new venture
is community theatre, so we do have an adult
cast. Our youngest is 15. We’re building the
sets, the kids come and help through the day.
The goal is to make it semi-professional. We’re
trying to foster the arts with the upcoming
new facility.”
The production has a 25-member cast plus
the crew with adults from the community, college students from University of Indianapolis and Marion University and students from
schools including Southport, Greenwood and
Arsenal Tech.
“Community Theater is an inexpensive way
to enjoy yourself but it’s live,” Bradford said. “I
think a lot of people miss that. If you like to
laugh and you like music, you are in the right
place.”

Inspiring future generations
FEATURE
By Eric Ellis
A learning child is like a sponge – ready and
anxious to take in all the world has to offer. It’s
the responsibility of schools, parents and kids
alike to make sure the appropriate materials
are being absorbed. This, however, is easier
said than done.
We’d all like to believe the old adage is true:
you can do anything you put your mind to.
This idea has been expressed in many iterations for the past several decades. To some degree, it’s true. What sometimes gets left out of
the equation, though, is the hard work variable.
In order to care for your child and make
sure he or she has access to all the education
he or she can stomach, it can sometimes seem
like it takes a perfect storm of motivation, interest and countless other details stressed
over by parents as much as educators. We’re
constantly pouring over standards, various
methods of testing and measuring progress,
and it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters: inspiring young minds to take charge of
this world and change it for the better.
Good grades and staying in school are wonderful markers of success, but they aren’t the
only means to a good job or even a fulfilling
career. Inside every child is a spark of passion, imagination, or whatever you want to
call it. Parents and teachers coming together
to kindle that spark into a flame is what makes
truly great things happen – dreams coming to
fruition. That’s what coming back to school
should really be about.
Tutoring toward the extra mile
FEATURE
By Eric Ellis
In many cases, tutoring gets a bad reputation amongst young learners despite its numerous benefits. Tutoring, however, can also
make the difference between a passing grade
and a failing grade – between barely scraping
by to making the dean’s list.
As a writing tutor at Butler University’s
prestigious Writers’ Studio, I worked with
hundreds of students and members of the
community from all walks of life. Whether
students had a learning disability, were learning English as a second language, or just wanted a peer to review their schoolwork, the outcomes were generally always positive – better
grades on assignments as well as improved
work ethic and performance in other classes,
too.
Before jumping at the first opportunity to
find a tutor for your child, however, there are a
few important items to consider:
SPECIAL SECTION
published by Times Leader
Publications, LLC
Relationship
with the school
Depending on your child’s school, they may
have information about reputable tutoring
services in your area. Private tutors or tutoring services that have a relationship with various schools can be beneficial since they have
a better understanding of the assignments,
teachers, and students involved. Ask around
and find out what services are available in
your area.
Tutoring companies
There are several companies in the Indianapolis and Southside areas that offer individualized supplemental learning programs and
tutoring services as well. Generally, these organizations are well-staffed with knowledgeable tutors who have expertise in a wide array of subjects. Many programs such as these
have afterschool sessions where students can
get assistance with homework or help with
other needs.
Private tutors
Finding a private tutor for your child can
be difficult, but there are many cases in which
the chemistry between the tutor and tutee enhances the child’s learning experience and ultimately life experience as the child’s grades,
attitude, and confidence improve. Also, private tutors can sometimes be more flexible
about scheduling which is helpful for families
with lots of extracurricular activities.
Finding out what works best for your child
can take time but is certainly worth the effort.
All it takes is a little open communication between the school and the child in order to find
a tutor or style of tutoring to improve grades
and more importantly, improve your child’s
schooling experience.

A new school year is approaching; is your
child ready? You have done your ‘due diligence’ as a parent spending hours shopping
for school supplies and clothes for the new
school year. Yet, there is one thing, above all
else, your child needs that cannot be purchased at any store: confidence. Confidence
is a key component to a safe and successful
school year.
Students enrolled in a quality martial arts
program will learn to think independently.
The hallmark of every good leader is their ability to think and apply problem solving skills to
make good choices. In martial arts students
are encouraged to maintain a positive attitude
and make smart decisions. Developing their
personal strengths, creating new strengths,
learning to make better choices, making new
friends and honing their observation skills
helps the child develop the confidence necessary to be a “hard target” for bullies.

A child who lacks confidence often finds
themselves an “easy target” of bullying on the
school bus, playground, in the hallways and
in the classroom. Bullying is as much mental
as it is physical. Children who study martial
arts are encouraged to maintain proper posture, make eye contact and stand up for themselves and their friends. Through martial arts
children learn to exhibit confidence and have
the mental strength and focus needed to neutralize violent situations without resorting to
violence.
While you are thinking about back-toschool and the supplies needed for a successful school year don’t forget the importance of
instilling confidence. Success through martial
arts is a fantastic way to prepare your child for
success in life. Give your child a head start on
success this year. Get them involved in martial
arts to give them the opportunity to develop
those life and leadership skills and traits that
can make them ‘bully proof ’. Let your child’s
instructor be their success partner for the upcoming school year.
At Greenwood Christian Academy, we
strive for excellence every day. As a stateaccredited school, we are the largest non-denominational Christian school for students in
grades PreK through 12th on the Southside of

Daily we pursue excellence in academic
achievement, personal development and spiritual growth in the lives of our students. We
are committed to building God’s kingdom

We have a 100 percent graduation rate with
100 percent of those graduates pursing higher education through a 4-year college, trade

Legislation went into effect on July 1 which
will require each school corporation to provide instruction for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated
external defibrillator (AED) for its students.
Though some schools may already administer
this type of program, the new law may add a
cost to the school system.
The legislation, House Bill 1290, states that
the schools must include “an instructional
program developed by the American Heart
Association or the American Red Cross,” “an
instructional program that is nationally recognized and is based on the most current national evidence based emergency cardiovascular care guidelines for cardiopulmonary
resuscitation and the use of an automated
external defibrillator.” The bill was geared toward student athletes, setting guidelines such
as an athlete should be pulled from an activity
if showing symptoms of cardiac arrest.
David McRee, of Greenwood and owner of
RESQ Health and Safety Training located at
6845 S. Madison Ave., Indianapolis, said although he believes it’s a great thing for all of
these students to know CPR, he recognizes
that it will add a cost to school. Teachers already need to have CPR certification in order to renew their teaching licenses. On the
Southside, RESQ works with Franklin Township and does some work with Beech Grove to
offer training. They also work with independent schools, such as Greenwood Christian
Academy.He said RESQ, an American Heart
instructor, offers teachers a 50 percent discount on this certification. In return for certifying the teachers, the company will offer
training to the students at cost - $10 for those
who choose to be uncertified and $15 for each
certification.
“Everybody should know CPR,” McRee said.
“Their students will have to have this (training) before they graduate. The whole thing is
whether they are going to be certified or noncertified. Certified is great but that will tax the
school district. The benefit of being certified
is they went through this training and have
something they can show to say they completed it. I think a lot of them will go for the noncertified because it will be a cheaper option.”

ADULT EDUCATION
Back to school not just for kids
By Eric Ellis
Though we’re rapidly approaching that time
of year where children and teens alike get back
into the swing of their educational routines,
this is also primetime for adults seeking higher education.
With the job market landscape bouncing back in full bloom, competition is getting
fiercer by the minute. Since more people are
in the workforce now than ever before, it can
be a challenge distinguishing yourself from
other candidates in your field. Many higherlevel or managerial positions require some
kind of additional training or higher education, so beefing up your credentials is a great
way to make you stand out against the crowd.
Not to mention the invaluable experience to
be gained!
Whether you want to take a few night classes here and there, enroll in an online program
to finish your degree, or get that master’s
you’ve always been dreaming of, there are numerous opportunities out there for adult education.

which to jump when applying. It’s crucial to
make a list of what’s important for you in a
program. Here’s a checklist that will give you
some guidance on how to go about the process. Be advised that every
application process is different and some programs
or schools may require additional documentation or
other forms as needed.
• Start with a list of
schools or programs you
might be interested in.
Learn as much about the
various pros and cons of
each as you can, and also
what their application requirements may be. You
can learn about them by
visiting their websites,
calling the program directors, and speaking
with current students and
graduates. Particularly for
graduate programs, it’s a
good idea to cast a broad
net and narrow your
choices by eliminating
those that fall outside your
criteria.
• Prepare in advance
for programs that require
certain test scores on the
application. Examples of
these include (but are not
limited to) the GRE and
LSAT. Tests can be expensive, time-consuming, and
difficult to prepare for.
Make sure you take care of
these requirements month
in advance to avoid headaches down the road.
• Once you’ve narrowed your list and you
have a solid grasp on the
programs you’re applying
for, prepare all the needed
documents for your application (transcripts,
letters of recommendation, your résumé, cover letter, etc.). If it helps, make your own personal checklist of items to ensure nothing gets
left out; if applying to multiple programs or
schools, it’s easy to get confused or disorganized and misplace materials.
• If you’re applying to programs that offer financial assistance or assistantships, they generally have an earlier deadline to which they
strictly adhere. In order to be considered for
funding, your application and all the requirements must be met by their deadline date.
Submit your materials to the designated address (or click “submit” if it’s a digital application) and wait to hear back in a few weeks or
months. You should receive timely confirmation that your application has been received.
If you have not heard back within a reasonable amount of time, follow-up with the insti-

RESQ Health & Safety Training is a professional medical training organization based in
Indiana. Our focus is primarily upon American Heart Association curricula, Indiana State
Department of Health programs (e.g. CNA

Healthcare Providers (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). RESQ
offers CPR training online which has been
proven to be the most convenient option for
many in need of CPR training.
Teachers, day care providers, industrial
workers, nurses, doctors, or EMS personnel
may be some occupations that come to mind
when thinking of individuals in need of CPR.
Though those working with individuals under their care or in high risk injurious envi-
ronments are thought of more likely to need
to know CPR, anyone can be faced with an
emergent situation which requires the knowledge of CPR. RESQ has trained everyone
from manufactures such as Amazon.com, Inc.
to the ever imperative stay-at-home moms.
Remember that CPR saves lives!
In addition to the wide variety of AHA certification courses, we also offer Indiana State
Department of Health programs. Of interest
to many aspiring nurses is our Certified Nurse

ADULT EDUCATION
Opportunities at UIndy
FEATURE
For The Southside Times by UIndy
Returning to school is a big decision for
adults. Time is already at a premium when
juggling work, family and household commitments. But considering lifetime earning potential, professional legacy and increased competition, adults can't afford not to complete a
degree. The U.S .Census Bureau reports that a
person with a college degree will earn $1 million more in a lifetime than someone with only
a high school diploma.
UIndy’s School for Adult Learning helps students succeed by meeting their needs for convenience, flexibility and affordability. We offer
innovative programs in traditional, accelerated
and online formats. Classes in the accelerated
program, meet just one night per week for five
weeks on campus, minutes from downtown Indianapolis.
UIndy also offers economical ways to reduce
completion time and overall cost through prior learning assessment and college credit by
examination. Students may receive up to 30
credit hours for what they have learned from
life and work experiences. In addition, students
can take many local and national tests for college credit, exemption or placement.
The School for Adult Learning is proud to
announce two new majors in high-demand career fields, Emergency and Disaster Management and Digital Media Management.
Emergency and Disaster Management is a
field of study and research that focuses on planning and directing disaster/emergency response
or crisis management activities. This major will
introduce students to the all-hazards approach,
emergency management and disaster management phases, risk assessment, prevention and
management, counter-terrorism, consequence
management, mitigation and recovery. Students
may earn a bachelor’s degree, an associate’s degree or a professional certificate.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Digital
Media Management spans a broad spectrum of
interdisciplinary topics including social media
networks and apps, content management, history, social CRM, social listening, reputation
management, marketing, online interpersonal communication, digital journalism, metrics
and analytics, and even copyright law and legal
issues. The coursework takes a comprehensive
approach to this burgeoning field to give students a well-rounded foundation of knowledge
in many aspects of digital media.
With a wide variety of career aspirations,
adult learners at UIndy are given the confidence to overcome personal challenges and
manageable opportunities to excel in life and
at work.

Versatile sauce
creates menu magic
RECIPE
For The Southside Times by Family Features
Every cook needs a little menu magic once
in a while — something that turns basic into
best. A versatile sauce that complements your
family’s favorite meals is one way to do it.
Whole Onion & Fresh Tomato Sauce takes
only 20 minutes to make.
Whatever fresh tomatoes you
have on hand — cherry, heirloom, plum, beefsteak — will
work just fine in this recipe.
The chopped tomatoes, along
with roasted red bell peppers,
garlic, fresh herbs and tender,
slightly sweet-tart Hollandstyle onions from Aunt Nellie’s,
result in a tasty, chunky sauce
that’s destined to become your
go-to, timesaver recipe. Just
quickly saute the garlic, then
add the onions and remaining
ingredients for a recipe that is
practically no cook.
Heat oil in medium skillet over medium
heat until hot. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add onions and wine; cook 2-3 minutes
or until most of liquid has evaporated.
Stir in tomatoes and peppers; heat through.
Stir in herbs, as desired.
Note: To serve, toss sauce with cooked pas-
Adaptable to any dish
This flavorful sauce can be used in a number of ways. It’s a perfect pasta partner, tossed
with angel hair or spaghetti, or spooned over
ravioli or tortellini. Finish with shredded Parmesan cheese, if you like. Add an additional
layer of flavor and a fresh burst of color by
topping (plain, grilled or sauteed chicken) or
fish (tilapia, halibut, cod) with the sauce just
before serving.
Use these pantry-staple onions to provide a
subtle pop of flavor (and extra vegetables) to
other favorite dishes including soups, stews
and sauces.

n Keeping kids reading
Summer fun can sometimes put reading on
the back burner, but there are ways to keep
kids engaged with reading and learning
without it feeling like drudgery and schoolwork. The earlier kids begin to read, the
better. If parents are able to make reading a
reward rather than a punishment, kids are
more likely to read
later on in life.
Parents should
also model
reading and
allow kids access to a variety of books either at home or time at a local
library. – CNN.com

WHERE WE WORSHIP
As a working couple with two children, Jodi
Thoma said she and her husband, Ray, were
downhearted about not finding the proper church home. When she met a member of
Southport Heights Christian Church who encouraged her to give the church a try, Jodi initially went by herself to check it out. She said
it was everything that the family had searched
for and the family officially became members
last November.
“The connections are truly genuine,” Jodi
said. “That’s hard to find - people who genuinely care about you and take an interest in you. I
attended a church pretty regularly a few years
back in Noblesville that had turned into a mega
church. I lost interest in that pretty quickly. We
love that small feeling where everybody knows
everybody. For me it was the personalities that
were so understanding and welcoming.”
Although the church attendance and participation has helped the entire family, Jodi said
the biggest change she’s seen has been for her
daughter, Reylynn, who has grown into a very
sociable 7 year old through her participation
with the children’s ministry.
“I truly encourage everyone to come and experience it at least once, to be part of a church
family that is just so close and bonded together,” Jodi said.
Here, learn more as Jodi speaks about the
impact Southport Heights has had for her family.
What is it about your place of worship that
helps you grow spiritually?
We have found that Southport Heights offers
us SO many opportunities to grow. Of course
the anchor of that growth is Steve’s amazing
and inspired sermons each week. Our children

After years of searching, The Thoma family finds a home
at Southport Heights Christian Church
to attend the Sunday evening youth
group as well where she dives deeper
into the bible and how to learn and
grow on her Christian walk. For Ray
and I we have the opportunity to be in
a small group called “solace” that is directed specifically for young couples.
This group has helped us to learn as
husband and wife and grow together
in our spirituality. There are truly so
many opportunities to get involved at
Southport Heights!
What is it about your place of worship that helps you feel connected
to your spouse, children, parents or
family?
Southport Heights helps us to feel more connected to one another because it is just such a
family environment. Our children have gained
innumerable ‘adopted’ aunts, uncles and grandparents! The walk from the front doors to the
children’s ministry section of the church takes
us extra-long, mainly because our 2-year-old
son, Spencer has to say hello to everyone and
give lots of high fives! Our daughter Reylynn
has what we consider a second mom in the
children’s minister, Tanya Henthorn. Becoming friends with the Henthorns has made them
truly our second family! The pastor, Steve, has
become our marriage counselor, friend, occasional dinner guest and even Ray’s fishing buddy!
What is one meaningful event that has taken place at your place of worship?
On July 6 our pastor, Steve Ferguson baptized my husband Ray, who then in turn baptized me at our Sunday service. The outpouring
of emotion, love and pure joy was overwhelming. It was a once in a lifetime moment that neither of us will ever forget. We will be renewing our vows at Southport Heights later on this
month as well and that is going to be just as unforgettable!

Taking personal responsibility for your actions
DEVOTIONAL
By Pastor Paul A. Kirby
"And he said, Who told thee that thou wast
naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof
I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
eat? And the man said, The woman whom
thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the
tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said
unto the woman, What is this that thou hast
done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat." ~ Genesis 3:11-13
There is such a thing as personal responsibility for one's own actions. Accountability
for what one does or says is a very important
part of what we come to call civilization. Laws
will never work to order a civil society unless
everyone agrees that those laws will apply to
themselves as well as their neighbors. It when
a person or a certain segment of society begins to imagine that they are exceptions to the
rules that society begins to crumble.
What existed in the garden of Eden was
a mini-society governed by one rule or law.
That law can be found in Genesis 2:16-17 "16
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die." That's it. Nothing other than that
but God's command for Adam and Eve to tend
to the garden and to enjoy its abundance of
food and its protection of them. But, alas, that
one law was broken and as a result of that, the
society descends into chaos much like ours is
descending further and further into chaos by
the day.
When God begins to ask the question,
"Who is responsible for this?" Adam blames
Eve. Eve blames the serpent. The serpent has
no one to blame but himself. He does not accept responsibility and only resents the judgment that God passes on him. In truth, all parties are equally guilty of the crime.
Adam is guilty for not stopping it from hap-
pening. Eve is guilty of listening to such a ridiculous argument from the serpent in the
first place. And, the serpent is guilty of such a
stupid argument.
So, if I sin, who do I blame? It is so easy
for us to blame just about anyone other than
ourselves for the sins we commit when all the
while the only one that can make me sin is me.
Sin is a personal choice and that is why God
holds us all personally responsible for it. No
one is the exception. Sin is never the answer,
short or long term. The answer is God, always.
God bless and go and have a great day.
