Faith

Microwave vs. Slow Cooker

by Sherry January 30, 2012

This year has started off with a bang in my life. I found out that I have pre-cancerous cells growing and am need of surgery to ensure that they don’t turn cancerous. On Friday, I got a call from my doctor to let me know that my insurance company has denied my claim. They want [...]

My Final Blog

by Alumni Posts December 5, 2011

So… this is it. I’m done with classes. I have one more brief paper to write and hand off, and I’m done. Less than two weeks from now, I’ll walk the stage, dressed in a gown I’ll wear one time ever. Frankly? It’s anti-climactic. There’s not some big banner I run through at the finish [...]

The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer…

by Sherry December 5, 2011

Last weekend my family and I watched the movie, Elf, Friday night and Saturday night as we decorated the house for Christmas. We are still going around quoting things from the movie this week. One of our favorite parts is when Buddy meets up with a raccoon in the park on his way into New [...]

Thank You…

by Lizzie November 15, 2011

For this Thanksgiving, I would like to start off by saying who I am thankful for: my mom, who has given me so much love, care, and support throughout my life and raising me into a mature person (but she’s still overprotective and worries too much. Love her so much anyway!); my twin sister, Mary, [...]

Follow Me to the Fall Retreat

by Alumni Posts October 12, 2011

It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, you can wear a jacket to class. Oh wait, it’s 80 degrees in October this year, so you’re probably still wearing your flip flops and shorts. But, nonetheless, it’s still that time of year again! Are you wondering what I’m babbling [...]

The end is near, indeed!

by Alumni Posts April 14, 2011

I just read another blog post proclaiming that the end is near.  And, well, it is!  Now we are in the uphill battle towards finals.  The professors are getting all those end of the semester projects and exams in – quite a busy time indeed!  But, we get to take a moment away from the [...]

We Mostly Work to Live, Until We Live to Work

by Carly March 11, 2011

Currently, I have a blue Post-It note staring me down, listing all of the assignments I have to complete during the remainder of this week and into next week if I want to be somewhat homework-free over spring break. It’s been a stressful past few days, to say the least, and it’s come with some [...]

Thoughts on God

by Alumni Posts March 7, 2011

Not everyone likes to talk about religion, so I’ll try to keep this brief. Now that I’m fasting for my faith (the 19 Day Fast of the Baha’i Faith), religion seems to be a reoccurring topic for me on a regular basis. Not to mention, Christianity and Catholicism are common topics what with Mardi Gras [...]

Preparing to Fast

by Alumni Posts February 24, 2011

So, I’m Baha’i. The Baha’i faith is a major world religion with believers in more than 200 countries and territories. It was founded in Persia in Bahá’u’lláh in the mid 1800’s. This faith emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind, believing all religions worship the same God, men and women are equal, and science and [...]

About 30 days until Thanksgiving!

by Alumni Posts October 25, 2010

I just finished with the Metanoia retreat today, and I have to say it was a fantastic weekend! I felt like I did get to know some of those attending the retreat, despite my earlier apprehensions. Even though I didn’t get a lot of one on one time with many people, I did try to [...]
