In her poem, sophomore Sarah Miles paints a touching picture of an intimate God and an honest, struggling sinner. In our helplessness, despair, and endless questions, Because You’re Mine is a reminder of God’s incredible love that He lavishly pours onto people like us.

Felice Frankel has a rockin’ job. She gets paid money to take breathtaking pictures of scientific things. The New York Times thought she was cool enough to feature her here.

The Other Side of the Pope’s Visit
April 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments
On the flip side of us standing up straight when some important person comes to town: Do other people stand up straight when you come around? Why? Is it because you’re a really powerful person? Or you’re much farther up the totem pole than them? Or just because you’re older?

April 28th, 2008 · 1 Comment
