As we all know summer has arrived and like bears coming out of hibernation, ACU students are finding any excuse to be outdoors. Despite my un-athletic abilities, I, myself, have taken up jogging. While this has been a very relaxing activity for me, I have at times been rather frustrated. I go out for a simple run and find myself charging over ... [Read More…]
Reporting less than accurate in FAC story
I have some concerns about the story published on the clothing drive last Wednesday. I was interviewed for the story by a student reporter. We talked for a while, and I told her why FAC decided to sponsor the clothing drive. She asked me various questions, and I was happy to answer. However, whenever I got the accuracy check from Merlin Mann I ... [Read More…]
Smith served students more than we realize
Jeremy Smith has missed the last three congress meetings. I chaired those meetings-meaning that I employed the use of a wooden thing that looks like a short hammer, a gavel-in his absences, and at one of those meetings, a congress member told me that since I ran the meeting so well, I should have run for SA President, and I was astonished. Not ... [Read More…]
A blessing to reach middle age with no regrets
"Every age has its compensations." That was (and is) my mother's favorite quote regarding excessive numbers of birthdays; it never was mine until now. I turned forty last week. I'm not sure how I got to this place; I was just tooling along, minding my own business, when this huge milestone rolled into my path. The funny thing is, now that I'm past ... [Read More…]
Frenchman prays for American troops
The love of my people, the French, and the love of American people brought me to Abilene Christian University almost three years ago as a visiting missionary. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to live among the two cultures: the French and the American. I feel richer spiritually and intellectually because of this experience. ...

Response to sin should be love
The other day my friend discovered something disturbing. It was a card with the definition for the word vile on one side and a scripture denouncing homosexuality on the other. I do not know what the attempt of the person was who wrote these cards, but if it were to save those stuck in that sin, then they went about it in the wrong way. One of ... [Read More…]
Deserted devo in need of resurrection
Does anyone here remember nine o'clock devo? I mean the real thing? I do. Freshman year Sunday was nine o'clock. Sure, there was church and football and open house and naps and homework...but Sunday wasn't Sunday without it. Whatever we had going on...vibrant or tired, happy or not, busy or free...when the clock struck nine you knew where to find ... [Read More…]
Child’s wagon stolen, please return
I'm writing this letter on behalf of my 4-year-old daughter. On Tuesday, we walked from our house in University Hills to the hill in the front of the Bible Building (the one inside the circular drive). I put my 2-year-old son and my daughter into Anne Elizabeth's red wagon and drove them across the field in front of our house, over the icy Judge ... [Read More…]
War hurts both sides, regardless of victor
I proudly served in the U.S. Air Force for 21.5 years and I would have gladly fought and died to defend our rights and freedoms. During that time I lost 30 friends in airplane accidents and know deep loss. My greatest fear of any war is the human loss both sides will sustain. This is the greatest tragedy of any wartime conflict. It's not who wins ... [Read More…]
Leaders older, wiser, should be trusted
Those malevolent, malicious administrators. They must hate us. I just can't see any other reason for the fact that they force us poor, oppressed students to attend Chapel day in and day out. They must hate the students. I mean why else would they force us to come together and worship God every single day of the week without letting us have ... [Read More…]
