Doing away with clubs and caddies, disc golf is the growing sport craze among college students and on ACU's campus. The hybrid of a sport is played much like golf, the goal being to get the disc into the basket in as few shots as possible. Disc golf came to the ACU campus in 2008 when the kinesiology and nutrition department met to ... [Read More…]

Home is where the restart is: Student finds place in halfway house
Kyle Yarbrough gets question-grilled and sideway-glances when giving out his current home address.

His eye is on the sparrow
On the bird hierarchy, sparrows are lowest on bird-watchers' "must-watch" list. They possess no unique skills and are, in all, quite unexceptional. But Jesus gave special regard to the slighted sparrow, that if birds were cared for, surely we would be, too. At Reedemed Ministries, women in its program go by the same name. Rather than being ...

Welcome to Abilene for spring break
Students are sitting on the edge of their seats, nervously watching the clock. They wait anxiously for their teacher to dismiss them from class so they can jump in their car and drive.

Hosting, no coasting
"Sing Song is our life," said Caroline Nikolaus. And there's proof in their after-hours practicing. It is the Saturday before final rehearsal week, the last night of freedom and eight hours of sleep.

Catching Atchley: Minister named 2014 Outstanding Alumnus of the Year
Rick Atchley ('78) should be a difficult man to get a hold of. With 25 years under his ministery belt at The Hills Church of Christ in North Richland Hills, two books written and guest-speaking appointments across the country, his schedule leaves little time for chit-chat.
