My experience back in a fully-opened church
Regardless of what one may think of the state of Texas opening back up, I believe a blessing that many, including myself, are thankful for is the ability for churches to full capacity within the state. While some stores still count entrants, restaurants require masks and theatres require social distancing, many churches have taken these ... [Read More…]
We need to continue normalizing mental health

When Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lifted the state-wide mask mandate and reopened all the state’s businesses, the university made its stance clear and reinforced that its mask policy on-campus would remain in place through the end of the semester. I really appreciated this, because I value the importance of an in-person education, especially studying ... [Read More…]

The Wildcats’ historic season could impact basketball program for years to come
What seems to be impossible can always become possible whenever March Madness rolls around, and ACU was of those teams that did the impossible.
