Comment on Earned Success by Greg Brown

Excellent post, John. My Grandfather used to say that an earned dollar blesses a man three times: the sweat of his brow cleanses; the exercise of his muscles relaxes, the shade tree and the rest refreshes.
He told me this many times, sitting under the shade tree in our own backyard, after cutting grass. Best two bucks I ever earned in my life.

I recently heard a friend from Switzerland observe that education seemed to be taken more seriously in North America because students had a greater stake invested in it than where he was from (where education is nearly free). Perhaps this comes down to the same principle you are getting at?

Congrats on finishing! Hopefully this will put an end to Dr. Barnett’s harassment.

I enjoyed reading your report, Bethany. You represent yourself and the Truth very well.

Very nice Bethany. I wish I could have been there with you, but I still have more stuff to learn at Impact.

I have to say that while the quote from this particular prof seems more than appropriate, 48% still seems high.

Comment on “Stone-Cold Sober” at college by Mason

Brigham Young University – Provo is listed as #1, however I would argue that Brigham Young University – Idaho is even more so. There are about 13,500 students that have even more strict living standards, including a curfew, no shorts or flip-flops on campus and a very strong honor code. Excellent University. The #1 Most Stone Cold Sober University (probably in the world).

Thank you Basie. I can validate this post because I see it true to my life. It is a disturbing thought to realize that I don’t pray as much as I should. I hope to talk more about this soon. Thanks Basie.

Thank you for directing me here. This is absolutely typical of him and his wife as well. Through one of the toughest situations imaginable they demonstrated incredible grace under pressure. The impact of my time spent learning from him will definitely influence me for the rest of my life. Whenever he talks about Victoria, he always comments on God’s word to them that she would be a beautiful servant and so she was because her story reached out to so many. But I must aver that her role would not have been so great if they were not so wholly submitted to God that He could use them in such a powerful yet painful process.
