Thanksgiving.
In today’s society I think there is a misconception of Thanksgiving. It is when we get together with friends and family and reflect on being thankful. We are thankful for food, house, turkey, and the Cowboys. Yes I said the Cowboys. When ever you go home for Thanksgiving, isn’t interesting to see the interaction of [...]
See I started this paper with the question of “what reason is there for us to live out our faith?” and I came up with the old cliché answer of to bring glory to God, but I felt like there was more. Through the unraveling of my paper and faith journey, I found several things. The first being that I am selfish, prideful, and I have a very poor understanding of what faith truly is. Secondly, the view that I had of faith is that it is something that I needed to do, making it in a sense works based although I didn’t think I was doing that. I thought I was doing what Christ called me to be.
Prioritizing is not number one on my to do list. Often times I feel like procrastinating is first on my list. Usually the first thing on my to do list is to make a to do list, college life is so busy! In order to succeed here at Dallas Baptist, I have found that I [...]
So this last week was an amazing week. I work on campus at the Baptist Student Ministry and we hosted an event on called “Give Love”. It is an event that was designed to raise awareness for hunger as well as to encourage students to look at how they are living their lives. The event [...]
As a DBU student, chapel is one of my favorite parts of Mondays and Wednesdays. I go to my 9am class every Monday and Wednesday morning and sometimes feel inadequate as I leave because I walk out more confused than when I walked in. People often ask, ‘what’s the big deal? You know [...]
So this week was interesting… coming back to school after a month or so of a “break”.
Monday night as I was gathering all of my things together for the next day, I thought to myself… I have survived college for three years, WOW! It was pretty cool going through the same routine as I would [...]
It’s funny how whether you are a senior in high school or a senior in college there are a few similarities they both share. For example, during any sort of academic senior year a senior comes to a place where he/she just does not care about school anymore. The light at the end of the [...]
I transferred to DBU in the Spring of 2007, and I remember it like it was yesterday. I was deciding between Texas A&M and Dallas Baptist, and for awhile I was set on going to A&M. My admissions counselor kept calling me throughout the fall because I had been accepted to the university months before [...]
What an amazing time of year! The semester is rolling down, exams are this next week, the cold weather is becoming more and more present, and all of this points to the reality that Christmas and its amazing mental break is very imminent.
It’s crazy how so many different obstacles arise during one semester. For example, [...]
Wow! I cannot believe that the semester is already over… It absolutely flew by (so enjoy it while it lasts)! But I will say, I am ready for a break and am so excited to be at home with my family for Christmas! I wanted to write about what has been going on [...]
