    This impacted me..thought I would share

    Tweet DON’T LEAVE IT ON THE DESK There was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, astudious man who taught at a small college in the western United States. Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity atthis particular institution. Every student was required to take this coursehis or her freshman year, regardless of his or her major. Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence ofthe gospel in his class, he found that most of his students looked upon thecourse as nothing but required drudgery. Despite his best efforts, moststudents refused to take Christianity seriously. This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve. Stevewas…

    On a different note..

    Tweet Ever wonder why God brings some people into your life for a short time? Why does He allow us to meet the most awesome people and then uproot them from our lives? Perhaps it is for their good, and perhaps it is for our good..or, and more likely..it is for both. I joined a sorority this year..something I never thought I would do and God has brought so many awesome people and opportunities into my life. One of those people was an amazing girl named Nicole. I am honestly not sure what I would have done without her these last few months. And I am going to miss her…

    Oh My Word

    Tweet So tonight Ethan Zohn came to my campus! It was so awesome! Not only am I a HUGE survivor fan…but I happen to love Ethan. (for those of you who have no clue, He won Survivor Africa which probably still doesn’t help most people) And he works a lot with AIDS and Africa and gave me some advice on how to get started down that path. He was so down to earth and fun to talk to. Too bad it had to end… Amanda
