Baptism
Greensburg, Indiana
October 1, 2015

Since the days when Jesus walked this earth,
baptism has been a symbol of Christianity.

Although water is a key component of baptism,
the Bible never defines how much water is to be used,
nor does is define how the water is to be applied.

Therefore, immersion, sprinkling, and pouring
must all be considered acceptable methods of baptism.

Baptism
Greensburg, Indiana
October 6, 2014

Since the days when Jesus walked this earth,
baptism has been a symbol of Christianity.

Although water is a key component of baptism,
the Bible never defines how much water is to be used,
nor does is define how the water is to be applied.

Therefore, immersion, sprinkling, and pouring
must all be considered acceptable methods of baptism.

IHSAA Success Factor
Two-years Reclassification Periods


The previous Reclassification Period was for the 2 years:
2011/12 -- 2012/13

During that period Greensburg accumulated 5 points
 

2011/12 Success Points 2012/13 Success Points Total Points
Sectional Champs 1 State Champions 4 5

A team must have 6 or more points to be moved to the next Class.
Greensburg only had 5 points, so they stayed in Class 3A.


The current Reclassification Period is for the 2 years:
2013/14 -- 2014/15

So far Greensburg has accumulated 4 points

2013/14 Success Points 2014/15 Success Points Total Points
State Champions 4   0  

Since Greensburg finished this season with 4 points, they
need to win the Regional next year to be moved to Class 4A.
(Sectional - 1 point, Regional 2 points,
Semi-State - 3 points and State Championship - 4 points)


If Greensburg is moved to Class 4A, they would remain there for at
least 2 years.


Now you know !!

Baptism
Greensburg, Indiana
October 2, 2013

Since the days when Jesus walked this earth,
baptism has been a symbol of Christianity.

Although water is a key component of baptism,
the Bible never defines how much water is to be used,
nor does is define how the water is to be applied.

Therefore, immersion, sprinkling, and pouring
must all be considered acceptable methods of baptism.

Mollye's White Coat Ceremony
Saint Louis University
September 25, 2011
© David A. Leas - all rights reserved.
The white coat ceremony (WCC) is a relatively new ritual in some medical (including osteopathic), 
optometry, dental, chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy, podiatric, pharmacy, 
physician assistant, and veterinary medical schools that marks the student's transition 
from the study of pre-clinical to clinical health sciences.

WCCs typically involve a formal "robing" or "cloaking" of students in white coats, the garb physicians 
have traditionally worn for over 100 years and other health professions have adopted.

The above was taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_coat_ceremony)

January 11, 2010 - Baptism

Since the days when Jesus walked this earth, baptism has been a symbol of Christianity.

Although water is a key component of baptism, the Bible never defines how much water is to be used, nor does is define how the water is to be applied. Therefore, immersion, sprinkling, and pouring must all be considered acceptable methods of baptism


 

  


December 24, 2009 - A magical moment.

The bright rays of the morning sun are
reflecting in the windows of my neighbor's house.

Cell phone photo by David A. Leas




 



December 7, 2009 - We received about an inch of snow this morning. As I have for the last few days, I drove the 1981 T-Bird to work. The T-bird is about two miles long and it weighs about 47 tons and it has rear-wheel drive.

Cell phone photo by David A. Leas

What fun this morning! Every turn from one road to another caused the T-Bird to fishtail. A couple of times, when I attempted to turn, the brakes locked up and I started to slide right by the place where I wanted to turn. I popped the gear shifter into neutral and cranked the wheel. Each time I successfully made the turn.

Although driving this morning was somewhat stressful, it was also kind of fun. Unfortunately the snow will be melted when I go home for lunch, but it was fun while it lasted!







December 4, 2009 - This morning I was greeted with some extraordinary sites.

As I left the house and started to breathe the cold crisp air, the vapor of my breath, as it left the warmth of my body, turned to steam. The rising sun caused these tiny particles of water and ice to reflect the rays of the sun. A twirling, twisting cloud of orange appeared before my eyes.

Then as I started to back my car out of the driveway I noticed that the sun was shining through the tiny pieces of frost that had formed on the side window of my car. It was as if my window was covered with beautiful, orange, sparkling jewels.

As I drove to work on the State Road 3 By-Pass I noticed a totally white billboard. The old message had been removed, but the new message had not yet been added to the billboard. Sitting on top of this billboard was a hawk and shining behind the hawk was the brightly lit moon. This sight warmed me to my core. It was as if the blank billboard and the majestic hawk were giving me a message of hope. They were telling me that I could cast away my troubles and that I could start anew with a blank canvas upon which I could write my own message of hope.

The sun, the frost, the air, the moon, the billboard, and the hawk were all giving me a message:

IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY!!!
