FED eration CONnection

Seeing absolutely It’s said that beauty is in the “eye of the beholder.” Since one’s view is relative, what he considers beautiful, good, or right is often his opinion.

This is the world’s thinking. It believes that beauty or right are found in anything if it doesn’t undermine something else. There are no absolutes. After all, it’s in the “eye of the beholder.”

Christians know and follow the absolutes of God’s Word. They know relative truth is wrong. When they express God’s unchanging views, the world labels them and and their words as judgmental, cliquey, or intolerant. The world tells them that right and wrong vary by location, time, and situation. After all, it’s in the “eye of the beholder.”

Before his crucifixion, Jesus prepared his disciples for his death. He said, “Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices” (John 16:20).

Indeed, the world would celebrate Jesus’ death. His teachings countered the prevailing thoughts of his day. His foes would not accept or tolerate what he identified as sinful.

Therefore, they viewed his arrest, torture, and murder as the right thing. To them, “he had no beauty or majesty” (Isaiah 53:2). To them, he was wrong.

But, Jesus pointed his disciples past that dark time when their “grief [would] turn to joy” (John 16:20). His death produced life when he victoriously rose. Joy would come to all who behold him as their Savior by faith.

Are things really in the “eye of the beholder?”

Certainly, views on earthly matters are sometimes relative since the beholder determines their value.

However, Christians view all things by faith through God’s Word. Right and wrong are absolutes.

Through Christ, our eyes behold the truth. Through Christ, we see light, life, and salvation.

5 questions GC faculty “Five Questions with the Faculty” is a light-hearted look at the teaching staff at Lakeside Lutheran High School. This edition features Mr. Jim Buege, who began his ministry at LLHS in 1994, and currently serves as Director of Choirs and teaches Composition.

Mr. Buege is the face Federation members see when the A Cappella choir comes visiting their churches.

Here are some other things you might or might not know about Jim Buege: Jim grew up at Garden Homes Lutheran in Milwaukee and attended Wisco. “After Martin Luther College, I tutored at LPS,” he writes. “The next year I was reassigned to Trinity in Minocqua where Lorraine and I had the privilege of starting the school. After Minocqua, I served as principal at Zion in Columbus, and then was called to Lakeside.”

The Bueges are empty-nesters. Their three daughters—all LLHS grads— are Melanie (‘95), Adrienne (‘98) and Katie (‘03). They enjoy four grandchildren. Though he doesn’t see his home church often during choir season, he and Lorraine are members at Immanuel in Farmington.

What is your favorite thing to do on a Saturday?

Listen to or watch a Brewer or Badger game and grill up some burgers for the family.

When you’re at your fave restaurant, where are you & what do you order?

I’m at TGI Friday’s for Flat Iron Steak or ribs.

What is your favorite movie or book of all time?

Movie: Shawshank Redemption | Book: The Milwaukee Braves: A Baseball Eulogy What’s one of your most humorous moments at LLHS? I put out sign-up sheets each week that A Cappella goes out to sing. Instead of signing his name, Peter Stauffer (‘99) always drew a hand with short fingers (his nickname was “Stubbs” due to big hands but stubby fingers). On the 1999 spring A Cappella trip to California, we stopped at Universal Studios, where there was a machine that would make plastic molds of just about anything. Classmate Jeff Schmidt put the money up to have “Stubbs” hand immortalized in plastic.

What’s one of your most heartwarming moments of your time at LLHS? So many, like the way faculty, staff, and parents worked together to make hosting the 2013 National Choral Fest a success. However, the response of this year’s A Cap kids through my absence during my daughter’s surgery has been so heartwarming. Their caring attitudes, spiritual support and work to ready themselves for concerts when I was gone was so uplifting. I am truly blessed to serve our Lord in this special way.

student news E notes:

Students power through winter, enjoy success and fun activities On February 6, the Warrior Forensics team competed among 11 schools at the Capitol Conference tournament in 16 different speaking categories. We finished the night with 308 points, ahead of 2nd and 3rd place teams Lake Mills (206) and Belleville (176).

This marks the 7th straight Conference championship for your LLHS orators.

The 2nd week in February brought Winter Carnival, a time to try to dispel the shadows of winter and celebrate the creativity and camaraderie among our students and staff. The week included dress up days, a dodgeball tournament and a casual dance. See our photo archive at llhs.smugmug.com/School/Winter-Carnival-2017 The Warrior Dance team hosted more than 70 girls in grades K–8 in another dance clinic, featuring music from “Beauty & the Beast.” All campers were invited to dance at the last regular season home boys basketball game on Thursday, February 23.

Our wrestlers saw success this year when one Warrior won the Conference championship in his weight class, and three other wrestlers did well at regionals and advanced to sectional competition. Then, a win on Valentine’s Day secured a Capitol North Conference co-championship for the girls basketball team!

More than 400 grade school basketball players and their families and fans blessed the LLHS campus with their “cheering” presence during the annual LES A-team basketball tournament. 36 teams from 19 schools played through 3 days and filled the halls with youthful energy that dozens of our faculty and student helpers were happy to catch. Thanks to the dozens of coaches for all their efforts with our future players!

The following Monday Feb. 20 saw no classes but still busy halls and classrooms as more than 200 kindergartners spent the morning with our staff and students at the annual KinderFest, when these little lambs learn and have fun at 10 stations such as the forensics-led “Acting Class,” a chemistry demo called “Bubbles & Ice,” an FFAled petting zoo, “Sounds of Spanish,” Fire Safety and more. Photos at smugmug.com Joining over 600,000 FFA members from across the nation, the Warrior FFA chapter led the school in a celebration of National FFA Week February 19-25. Fun and educational activities filled the week, including Ag Olympics with bale-tossing and frozen chicken bowling. Students also celebrated the achievements of several Warrior FFA members, who, earlier in the month saw success at the District FFA speaking contest. Two individuals and the parliamentary procedure team earned 1st or 2nd and so advance to sectionals in March.
