Faces Turned Towards Glory
February 1, 2023 | Lily Lawler BK ‘23
Each sunset with clouds draped around it and every birdsong I heard in the morning pointed my face towards God’s undeniable glory. The infinitely unfolding beauty in this world was enough evidence for me that God is present with us.
Growing Young
February 1, 2023 | Hannah Turner BK ‘24
And those of us who know the struggle of adulting know that time is a precious resource and we use money nearly every day. The difficulty is not in teaching responsibility or wisdom, but in the dangerous implications we make about a human being’s value. When we view ourselves, those around us, or children as failures for not reaching certain goals, we deny our inherent worth.
Habits of Mind
February 1, 2023 | Lukas Bacho SM ‘25
Still, a larger question looms: short of the moral standard Emerson, Thoreau, and even Jesus provide, is not a guilt-ridden philanthropy like mine better than none at all?
In Search of Perfect Friendship
February 1, 2023 | Yoska Guta TD ‘25
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t think our fallouts with others are due to the flaws of a select few individuals. Rather, this constant failure is due to a deep insufficiency that runs rampant within each of us. One that prevents us from being, and finding that whole and perfect friend that we all seek.
Being with the Dead
February 1, 2023 | Zeki Tan PM ‘25
This culture of isolation was on full display during the Covid-19 pandemic, in which many people died alone in the hospital, their families denied visitation under lockdown rules. How did these people feel as death approached? Perhaps they still had dreams to fulfill, places they wanted to visit, or people they wanted to see when Death came knocking.
The Creator’s Commission
February 1, 2023 | Marcos Barrios ES ‘24
God didn't go after Adam and fix his work, editing the names Adam chose. Certainly, God would have chosen better, more beautiful, more meaningful names for the animals. But like a father hanging up the messy scrawl of their child's artwork on the fridge, God proudly displays the work of His image bearer.
