Overcoming Fear
October 16, 2002
I am a young woman of many fears. I'm afraid of falling, heights, spiders, being left, the effects of artificial sweeteners, drowning, being weak, asking for help, and failing. (The latter two are the worst.) I had to meet all of these fears head-on in the first few days of the High Sierra Semester. Yes, I knew that I would eventually have to face them, but I was kind of hoping I could start with the artificial sweeteners.

Notes from the Field: Ecuador, May 17
May 24, 2002
Hi! Well, it's been awhile since our last update. We've been really busy this past week but it's been very worth it. We have been working with the street kids since Monday and will be working with them through Sunday. They are an incredible group of kids and we have all grown to love them so much. I think that we are learning just as much from them as they are learning from us.

British Misunderstanding
April 16, 2002
opened to lots of laughs and audience approval Thursday, April 11. A complex series of misunderstandings, accusations, fraud and tea drinking make up the basis of this very British comedy. Written in 1997 the entire play takes place on one set, the London home of Linda and Eric Swan. The story centers on the bumbling Eric who has created numerous false claims and is receiving more Social Services checks than he can handle. When he involves his soon-to-be-married tenant Norman McDonald, the problem spins delightfully out of control.

She details the physiological processes a typical crucified victim underwent and teaches her students to see Christ’s death on the cross with new understanding. The exact events in this scenario may not have happened in Jesus’ specific case, but the account is based on historical documentation of crucifixion procedures used during that time period. Please be aware that the following is of a realistic and graphic nature.

October 01, 2001

Nursing in the 21 Century
October 27, 2000
With the advent of the new millennium, we ponder the future: What are the trends, challenges, and opportunities that face nursing? I offer my views with diffidence, fully aware of the pitfalls of forecasting. Once the mapping and deciphering of the human genetic code is completed, nursing professionals must address the implications of this new knowledge for nursing practice as well as the ethical, legal, and moral dilemmas created by this revelation. Nursing education must prepare nurses that understand and use health genetics.

Technology in Missions: The Future of Missions
October 01, 2000
"One of the highlights of the visit to the leprosy center was spending time with the patients in their living quarters. We went from bed to bed, listening in amazement to each heartbreaking tale. It became clear to us how significant Christ's healing of the leper truly was. It's fascinating to see how these experiences bring to life the Scriptures we have known for years and how God can use each person in so many unique ways."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was an age of wisdom, it was an age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us. . ." –A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
A Liberal Education: From Athens to Azusa
