I once again have much to review and commend you on. I pray so often for you, and I know that we all have something unique in our lives that we struggle with. While I don’t know the specifics, God does, and he cries when you cry, he rejoices when you are joyful and he never quits loving you. I am so thankful for your participation and energy thus far. As studies mount, I hope that you learn all that you can and also make time to eat, play and spend time with friends in recreational activities. Constantly be asking God for wisdom and patience. I always am!”Celebrate: Kingdom” was a fantastic day of being involved in the kingdom of Searcy as citizens of the kingdom of heaven. I hope that this will not be the end, but the beginning of a time where you are involved in the life of this community. God has provided us neighbors to love and your participation was great on Oct. 9. I hope it only gets better and the Word of Christ’s love spreads.The football team has done a fantastic job, and though they’ve struggled, they continue to prove their ability to perform at a high level with some big wins, despite a couple of games slipping away. The volleyball team is in the middle of an excellent season as they are in the heat of the race to be first in the GSC West Division. The women’s and men’s soccer teams have done a swell job also this season, as they are in the middle of conference play.The HU tennis teams are also in full swing (did you get the humor in how I said that? If not, it is a sleek way of making a reference to swinging a tennis racket. I assume I could have said the soccer and football teams have already kicked off the season and the volleyball teams are killin’ it right now! But it’s not even funny anymore, and it wasn’t in the first place) and do- ing a great job. Be aware of your teams playing and congratulate and encourage them on the way they represent HU.Once again, I can’t say enough on how good it is to be here with you! As a fellow Student Asso- ciation member, I want to thank you for your presence on this campus. You are so important to the SA, to your friends and to God. Remember this verse as you study, serve, speak, work, exercise and pray:2 Chronicles 15:7 “But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.”STEVEN RAMSEY is a guest contributor for the Bison.
