Kali Lynch - Senior Year

Senior year is starring me in the face. It is intimidating. It looks sly but happy and inviting. The word adult is scary to me, I never thought I would get to this point in life. I honestly still kind of feel like i'm 16 or in high school. I lead Young Life and I know high school kids parents look at me and see me as old, and they look at me and see me as old. It is so wild.

For now I am attempting to live in each moment and take in as much as I can. I do not want to look forward to next year or to marriage or tomorrow. I simply want to live in this moment because I know that each day is perfectly mapped out for me to soak in all of it. I know that each day and each moment has been ordained and written and unique for me. I am scared and nervous and excited and terrified and happy all at the same time for the future.

For now I am trying to get through this week and to summer, but I will choose to live in each day and soak in the moments as long as possible.

The "Prodigal Son Theme" in Movies

The "Prodigal Son Theme" in Movies In Luke 15: 11 - 32, Jesus shares the story of the Prodigal Son with His disciples. The story goes as follows: A father has two sons. The younger son asks for his inheritance and goes off and squanders it. After some time, he becomes poor and decides to return home to his father.

However, when Edward falls deathly ill, Will returns home and although there is tension between the duo, their relationship has not been destroyed. Over the course of the mo...

Senior Year - John Lesko

As I finish my junior year of college, I feel many things. I feel worried and unprepared for what lies ahead. I feel lucky for all the friends and memories I have made at CNU. I feel excited and ready for the future and its independence. When people say, "have fun because college flies by" are not exaggerating at all. I can still remember moving into my freshman hall and it feels not that long ago. I feel like I haven't learned or grown very much as a person, although I know I have. Learning and growth happen so gradually that it is hard to monitor as time passes. Growth is easier realized from the outside looking in then the other way around. I know I will take what I have learned and apply to the world. I just wish it would all slow down a little.
