Is Contract Biblical?

Let me say first off - I don’t claim to be an expert on this issue. I don’t claim to know all the facts. Feel free to agree or disagree with me… and I’d love to have wisdom or advice from people who want to share it.
Covenant has this thing called “Standards of Conduct.” It is [...]

Prayer Vigil on Highlands

Today was a Day of Prayer for Covenant College. We didn’t have classes, but instead set aside one day to pray. It’s been really awesome… not to mention not having classes and just having the opportunity to take some time to rest and catch up on sleep or studying.
Maclellan Hall, the residence hall that I [...]

Waffles at the Andersons

So last night, Sunday night, I headed over to the Anderson’s house for waffles. Every Sunday evening starting around 7:00 p.m., Wallace Anderson, the Vice President of Admissions at Covenant College, hosts a waffle dinner at his house for any students who can make it. Covenant doesn’t provide Sunday night dinner in the Great Hall [...]

Looking Back

I’m sitting here… it’s early Sunday morning. And my mind has just been wandering back to the days when I lived in England. It’s been almost a year and a half since I last left… that’s hard to believe.

Looking back, I have changed so much since then. I miss those days. Living there was such a [...]

Greyfriars and the Walking Bridge

So it’s a Friday night… I was just hanging out in my room with my roommates and a bunch of other guys from the Five Points. Our room is one of the main hang out places on the Five Points because it’s so big… me and my roommates have one of the two six-man suites [...]

Down to the Heart

You know what? It’s so so easy to get discouraged by criticism… or by the fog that loves to sit on top of Lookout… or by getting a low grade on a quiz. It’s easy to look at the downsides to life. You know what I mean?
Steve commented on my last post “Aimless.” He asked [...]

Aimless

Do you ever have those nights where all you want to do is go out and walk aimlessly? Where all you want to do is forget about everything you’re supposed to remember… and just dig up good times from the past? I’m there right now. I just spent the last hour or so walking aimlessly [...]

Different Presuppositions

One of my close friends talked to me the other night about his struggle with a family member. He was saying that Rachel (for the sake of calling her a name, though I won’t use her real name) was once a Christian who believed in the power of prayer, went to church with her family, and believed in [...]
