In His Might …

In His Might …

Semester Kickoffs with staff and students—pizza party—are now a thing of the past but the message of Ephesians 6 has stuck with me.  Our new school director, Andrew Royer, shared about being strong “in His might”. He talked about the sword of the Spirit—the Word – and having a prayer life that is real.  In […]

Deck the Halls … Once Again …

Deck the Halls … Once Again …

It’s always fun getting to know our students outside of the classroom and “decking the halls” for the holidays is just another way to do that! Jared and I have been a part of this activity since we came in 2009 and it is always a “memory maker”.  This year, Chris Darland, our Dean of […]

Winter Wonderland …

The first snow of the winter season is always so beautiful, and this year did not disappoint!  Not too long ago, we received six inches in one day, and another two inches after that! Jared decided several years ago that he likes only two snow events … the first snow and the last snow!  He […]

Not Created to be Enough …

I recently read a book that was recommended to me by a student. The book, Behind the Veils of Yemen, was written by a missionary wife and mother who ministered in Yemen for a time. It’s an easy read and quite enlightening! There were several things that stood out to me in this book but […]

A Friend to All …

A Friend to All …

Abigail is a 3rd semester student.  She will graduate in May.  It’s not unusual to see her every morning sitting at the mailboxes doing homework, reading the Word, or visiting with another student. She is an encourager, a listener, a motivator, a prayer intercessor, and a friend! She has a generous heart and a smile […]

Diana’s Tea Shop …

During our visit in Nebraska this month, Holly and I visited a tea shop in a small suburb of Omaha.  She and her mother-in-law had bought tea from this shop on several occasions, and they thought it would a neat place for me to visit. It was fun seeing the likenesses and differences in the […]

Mail Duty …

Mail Duty …

As summer approaches and our staff juggle their time away from campus, there remains a few “constants” – maintenance, business issues, correspondence with incoming students, prep for new semester, and MAIL! Each morning, Monday through Friday, the mail gets picked up from the main PO here in town by one of our guys and then […]

Bittersweet Event … Again

Bittersweet Event … Again

It’s that time of year … again … to say, “good-bye” to our students who are seniors.  We are happy for them but sad for us.  We are thankful for the “season” that God has allowed us to have with these students.  It’s definitely a worthwhile journey … and … one that is not over. […]

Meet Crystal …

Not long ago, Crystal, a senior, reached out to me in hopes of being able to spend time together before she graduates.  We decided to make it happen but with a two-fold purpose … to get to know each other better and to incorporate a study on becoming more mature in Christ. What has made […]
