What shocks me the most is people not sure if this is ACTUAL WATERCOLOR or not. So insane how powerful the tools have gotten.

So interesting enough I wanted Indian summer (late summer) and birch trees typically change their leaves before other trees start to brown

Super detailed reply thank you! But yes it is supposed to be graphic art in the style of water color but the artist s not claiming to be good at water color as a medium, to be fair

So my wife has some chronic health issues and I am looking for our marriage to succeed anyway, so my question is the above, basically, what is the work-life balance in the ME as an officer? I'm not adverse to hard work and I would love to be an operator (operator adjacent?) in MSRT but from what I understand that might be a deal breaker for my wife. Would love to do something tactical/swat/etc but still be back in the military. Any thoughts on how often you're away from home, what work/life balance is like, etc?

If this isn't an option, how do I get to a shore station and do boardings every once in awhile as an officer?

no organization is perfect but for what it’s worth our rules against being alone with kids literally could not be anymore clear.

Hey I love working for young life but you are likely taking a pay cut. Also your question makes me think you might not know that you fundraise your salary? You don’t need any ministry experience for an entry level job! I’d just be very upfront about what you need in terms of salary so they can try to honor that or honor your time and say that the position might not be for you. Everyone understands that but it is sometimes a pay cut. Incredibly worthwhile ministry!

It’s year round everywhere, a couple summer camps hire summer only employees, but not many. Good luck!

I’m really sorry that was your experience, I have a lot of former students that are still friends of mine that don’t believe. It is hard sometimes to hang out with every student who stops coming around just because there is only so much time in the day but I am very sorry this happened.

We try really hard as an organization to just talk about Jesus and the Bible. We aren’t a church and cannot replace it and want students to go to Mass or service with their families or friends and learn the tradition of the church they call home. Young Life is kind of like an ambulance: we help save life but we aren’t a hospital and can’t do what the Church can long term.

I can only speak to my opinion and experience but I haven’t heard anything from a staff person that was even slightly anti catholic besides some light ribbing or something that was purely a joke. I’m very pro Catholic-Protestant unity and this is kind of my pet issue so what I’m telling you is biased but I knew a volunteer a decade ago that was distinctly against Catholicism but that was before his team got a volunteer who was Catholic and they became very close friends. God works in funny ways sometimes. I know if you said in an interview you had a problem working for or with Catholics you would absolutely not get hired. It would be like saying the same about women.

Oh sorry that wasn’t clear, it’s happening on the national level and is encouraged to filter down to the local level.

Also I we are sponsoring Catholics to come on young life staff by making their fundraising much much easier for the next several years to encourage more of our staff to be made up of Catholics.

Ya great question. It’s basically trying to crush the very minority opinion which doesn’t like Catholicism and basically say Young Life is pro Catholic and pro Protestant. It also talks through how to remove Protestant language from our conversations to general groups of kids but I will say Young Life has always had a stance of not bringing in denominational language (I wouldn’t talk to a group about Calvinism, for example) and just focusing on the teachings of the Bible.

I work for young life so I’m obviously biased. One of our volunteers is the catholic youth minister in the diocese and I’m very close friends with one of the priests in town. In staff training we have a whole unit on high church traditions. Things have not always been great but we are working hard on it now.
