Dinner Table Full of Dresses

Hi,

Today school just got more busier. The school has invited high school and college student to the school during the weekend. So these people are going to spend time with us for several days which means a lot of people. There was so many people till you couldn't even see the floor or see ahead of you. Just like fish packed in a small bowl of water. Is all good though, because the school have to look good for them to "impress" so that they will come to a decision to study here.

The school i tell you is noise heaven and is loud. hehe. I'm not complaining here, just tell you guys. anyway, school day was appointment-ful. Had a lot of appointment with my student adviser, class adviser, work adviser and financial aid adviser. So much right. Man is crazy. Classes were also fast, thank God. Over all my day has been pretty up tight. And i'm more than hanging on.

Now i'm studying and so till then nighty night.

Shirtpants,

Today's convocation

Ron Luce encourages liberty students to be dreamers

Ron Luce, president and founder of Teen Mania Ministries, which sponsors the popular Acquire the Fire youth rallies, spoke at Wednesday’s convocation about the battle of dreams going on between the secular world and Christianity.

“The more in love with Jesus you fall, the more out of love with the world you fall because the world really has nothing,” he said.

Citing Ephesians 3:20, Luce said God gave Christians the ability to have a creative imagination and they must weed out the “dream killers,” such as the media, computers and the Internet, dumbed down reading and gossip magazines and people or family members who discourage dreams.

“They steal your dreams by stealing your time,” he said.

Luce went on to say Christians should be careful not to become paralyzed by the ordinary. He told students that 98 percent of people in the world follow culture and only 2 percent of people go out and shape the culture.

“Dreamers are not ordinary people, dreamers are people that shape the world. Dreamers are people who make a big change. They resist the ordinary,” he said.

Not only are there big dreamers such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Steve Jobs, but he said there are dreamers who are out there to work against the will of God and there needs to be strong Christians to counter that movement.

“Step out of the normal boring path,” he said. “Are we not dreamers? Can we not dream God’s dream?”

He closed with a challenge for students: “Whether it's education, politics, entertainment — whatever realm you might go into — dream a dream for God.”
