Young Adult Ministry
Mentoring is at the heart of every single thing we do at LEP. Relationship is the heart of transformation!
Currently, a group of young adults meet with us 5 times a week. These young adults are becoming servant leaders.
How do we mentor this specatular group? We live life together as much as possible. We hang-out, provide conversational English tutoring, study the Bible, pray together and serve together. Sometimes we share life skills…like how to pay bills or fix something around the house. Sometimes we play sports, skateboard, watch movies, or just share a meal.
But most of all, we serve together. Service is a spectacular way to learn about each other and discover purpose. These mentees will one day be mentors living out His purpose for their lives.

What is a traumatic brain injury?
A traumatic brain injury is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating injury that alters the normal function of the brain. Every year, approximately 1.7 million people in the United States suffer a traumatic brain injury.
Traumatic brain injuries can range from mild, such as a concussion, to moderate to severe, causing amnesia or permanent problems. Some injuries can even result in death.
The second leading cause of a traumatic brain injury are car accidents. The injury can result from a direct impact such as hitting a windshield, or can result without a direct blow, like in cases of severe whiplash.
Other traumatic brain injuries result from falls, being struck by or against an object, and assaults.
In South Carolina, an estimated 61,000 people are living with a traumatic brain injury. It is the leading cause of death for individuals ages 1-44 in our state.
What are the signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury?
Often, the signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can be subtle and may not appear until days or weeks following an injury. Some commons signs and symptoms to look for include:
- Headaches or neck pain that doesn't go away
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering or making decisions
- Slowness in thinking, speaking, acting or reading
- Getting easily lost or confused
- Feeling tired all the time, lacking energy or motivation
- Mood changes that include feeling sad or angry for no reason
- Changes in sleep pattern including sleeping a lot more or less
- Light-headedness, dizziness, loss of balance or nausea
- Blurred vision or eyes that tire easily
- Loss of sense of smell or taste
- Ringing in the ears.
If you think you know someone who is demonstrating the signs or symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, you should contact a health care provider. Getting help as soon as possible after an injury occurs can help speed up the recovery process.
What are the effects of a traumatic brain injury?
The effects of a traumatic brain injury can result in long term problems that can effect one's thinking, sensing, communication and understanding and can effect one's emotional state as well, resulting in depression or personality changes. These injuries can also develop epilepsy in an individual and increase one's risks of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Long term effects can lead to long-term medical costs and care. Almost half of individuals who are hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury end up with at least one unmet need a year after the injury first occurred. These needs range from memory and problem solving difficulties, trouble managing stress and controlling one's temper, emotional upsets and problems with job skills and performing at work.
If you have suffered a traumatic brain injury, you should be spending time resting and not worrying about your medical bills or going back to work too quickly. A good attorney can help you get the compensation you need to cover your medical costs, lost wages and other needs.

(Alexandria, VA) -- Accuracy demands that Congressional candidate Larry Grant retract his advertisements trashing a popular plan known as the Fair Tax - that's the gist of a letter the non-partisan National Taxpayers Union (NTU) sent to Grant late yesterday. NTU has over 3,000 members in Idaho and 350,000 members nationwide.
"This ad portrays the 23 percent sales tax as an addition to the already-high tax burden that Americans suffer," NTU Government Affairs Manager Andrew Moylan wrote. "That is completely untrue, and the voters of Idaho's First Congressional District deserve better."
Recently Grant began running advertisements against his opponent Bill Sali, accusing Sali of supporting a 23 percent tax on everything Americans buy. The ad's claim is based on Sali's reply to NTU's Congressional Candidate Survey. Sali answered "yes" to the Survey question asking whether he would "work and vote to repeal the entire federal Tax Code and completely replace it."
Sali then checked the following reform option as one that he could support: "a national retail sales tax that provides reasonable protection for low-income people, with a U.S. Constitutional Amendment to abolish and prohibit all federal income taxes after a transition period." This proposal is embodied in NTU-backed legislation known as the Fair Tax Act (H.R 25 sponsored by Rep. John Linder (R-GA) and S. 25 sponsored by Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)). The bills have 61 cosponsors between both chambers.
Moylan stressed these facts in NTU's letter to Grant, noting that "the Fair Tax would completely eliminate all income, payroll, and death taxes at the same time. The 23 percent rate was designed to be revenue neutral when compared with the current income tax structure ..." He also pointed out that the Fair Tax Act includes a monthly "prebate" that will shield lower- and middle-income households from harsh tax burdens.
In the final part of the letter, Moylan affirmed that neither NTU nor its political action arm, the NTU Campaign Fund, has made (or will make) an endorsement in the Grant-Sali race. "We write in the interest of fairness and accuracy," Moylan concluded. "We ask ... that you remove this ad and no longer use our name or logo in deceptive communications to the people of Idaho."
NTU is a non-profit organization founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes and smaller government at all levels. Note: NTU's letter to Grant, the Congressional Candidate Survey results, as well as commentaries and studies on the Fair Tax, are available online at www.ntu.org.

Guwahati/ 20th May (Prag News Desk): Even after the national media indulgence, past 11 days, the main accused Babu Teron and his associates are still absconding of the heinous rape and murder of a teenage girl in Boithalangso, Karbi Anglong.

The Assam State Commission for Women is expected to visit the victim family within next two days. A team of the Commission, led by Chairperson Chikimiki Talukdar, will be meeting the victim's family.

A recent guest column ("The SHARE Act shares the potential for more gun violence," Sept. 28) is riddled with false claims about legislation that would help protect the rights of millions of American who hunt and shoot competitively or for sport. The misinformed author of the column, Linda Newell, identifies herself as part of a national gun control group whose radical agenda has been rejected time and again by the people of Utah. When armed with the facts, the people of Utah have always chosen freedom over burdensome government regulations.
Here are the facts about the Sportsmen's Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, now being considered in Congress.
Newell makes the false claim that the legislation "deregulates gun silencers and armor-piercing bullets, putting them on the streets of our cities." Most people in the hunting and firearms community do not call them "silencers," we call them suppressors. They work like a car muffler to reduce the noise from a firearm. They do not silence a gun. Under the SHARE Act, anyone wishing to purchase a suppressor would still have to go through a federal background check — ensuring that criminals and the dangerously mentally ill do not have access to them.
According the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, "The SHARE Act would simply make it easier for law-abiding gun owners to protect their hearing with suppressors. A firearm suppressor reduces the noise of a firearm to roughly the level of a jackhammer, which, while still loud, will not instantly damage hearing like an unsuppressed firearm. Current federal law requires registration, the paying of a $200 tax, and up to a 12-month wait to acquire a firearm suppressor."
As a firearms instructor it would be nice to not have to wear double hearing protection to insure that I do not have continued hearing loss, and as a hunter in the field, it is not convenient and sometimes not appropriate to wear hearing protection because you want to make sure you can hear animals approaching or other hunters. I have often worried about my hearing while hunting. The NRA-ILA reiterates that, "the SHARE Act recognizes that we must give law-abiding sportsmen and women greater options to protect their hearing."
Finally, regulations on "armor-piercing bullets" would remain on the books but focus more clearly on the handgun ammunition that most threatens law-enforcement officers.
Gun control groups have also been making the false claim that firearms suppressors will threaten public safety. That has been debunked. The head of the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, the Fraternal Order of Police, says his group has zero opposition to the bill. Jim Pasco says, "The reasoning is because silencers are not — and have not been in the recent past — a law enforcement problem."
The SHARE Act would also add protections for sportsmen and women who travel across state lines with their hunting gear. We've all seen the stories of law-abiding gun owners who are arrested and harassed in places like New York City and New Jersey because they refuse to recognize current federal law which protects lawful interstate travel with a firearm. The SHARE Act simply reaffirms longstanding federal law in this respect.
The fact is, we need better laws to protect our sportsmen and sportswomen. They are the financial backbone of successful fish and wildlife management in this country and ensuring that they remain part of the landscape is the best thing we can do to protect our fish and wildlife resources for present and future generations. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, each year, Utah's nearly 200,000 hunters contribute more than $925 million a year to the state economy.
It is critical that law-abiding sportsmen have land access, the ability to travel the country without fear of harassment and prosecution, can participate in their sport safely and that fish and wildlife decisions are once again balanced between federal and state partners. Misleading arguments and outright lies against the SHARE Act provide a disservice to the public and fail to recognize the contributions made by those who engage in our treasured outdoor traditions. Despite continued misrepresentations by opponents, the SHARE Act is critically important to the future protection of our fish and wildlife resources and should be supported by all Americans.
Crystal Perry was born and raised in Utah and is an avid hunter and fisher. She is a certified firearms instructor for the Utah Concealed Firearm Permit Training Course.

Simplifile has been great to work with and helped provide us with a very smooth transition into e-recording.
BARRY COUNTY, Mich. (PRWEB) July 07, 2014
Barry County, Mich., is now electronically recording documents through Simplifile, providing the register of deeds' office and its customers with a faster, more cost-effective recording solution.
Instead of submitting documents to the register's office for recording by mail, runner, or courier service, the availability of e-recording means recording customers such as title companies, banks, attorneys, and lien filers can now submit documents online. In minutes, the documents are received, reviewed, stamped, recorded and returned from the county back to the submitter.
"My goal for this year is to establish more clients who will be using e-recordings, especially local customers such as attorneys and title companies, to provide faster service for all of Barry County in document recording," said Barry County Register of Deeds Barbara Hurless.
"As we grow our e-recording client base, we should be able to record faster with less physical handling of the documents themselves. We should also save money on postage, as all documents are sent back electronically and returned the very same day they get recorded, providing much faster service to the customers."
According to Hurless, all documents types are currently being accepted for e-recording in Barry County, with the exception of documents requiring certification for back taxes such as warranty deeds, easements, land contracts, and land contracts assignments.
"We do plan to accept these types of documents in the future," Hurless said.
In addition to a faster recording turnaround time and savings on postage, e-recording also helps to eliminate paper waste and check-writing, as recording fees and payments are processed securely through Simplifile using Automated Clearing House, or electronic funds transfer.
"Simplifile has been great to work with and helped provide us with a very smooth transition into e-recording," Hurless added.
With the addition of e-recording in Barry County, Simplifile's e-recording service is now available in 21 Michigan counties and more than 1,100 total counties nationwide.
For more information about e-recording in Barry County, call 800-460-5657 or visit simplifile.com.
