Feeling stressed about school? Midterms have come upon us at Hope and students are running around frantically to get in the last 5 minutes of studying that will set them apart from the rest of the class (not really, though).

A Run With God.
As the sun was setting and the magnificent colors exploded across the sky, I laced up my new fluorescent pink Nike running shoes and walked down a path to the beach. I began my run along the beautiful shoreline of Lake Michigan, trailing a few feet behind my friend. I closed my eyes and let …

Wow! Things have gotten crazy! I don’t know where the time has been going, but my to-do list is ever-growing.
