I’m thinking of our incoming first-year students today. Many of them are graduating from high school this week or next, and they are at the pinnacle of their K-12 success. They know who they are within their school. They have their friend group. They have […]
WOW, Deac families – you really pulled it off. I thought we were going to be in a really precarious position relative to the threat of storms. And you heard me when I asked for you to send up prayers, invocations, supplications, and anything else […]
