Well, for those of you who have been awake for hours on end, you are at the end of the journey. A week that seems like years is reaching its final season — persevere! For all, this is a week of fun, craziness, surprises and a sea of people forming a massive blanket covering the entire student center. I also want to say to those who did not get into a club — I know it is hard. But do not let this get you down for long. It is never easy when something you really want to happen does not work out. God has not shunned you. Nor has the entire university. There are numerous opportunities to find a community to be a part of. I hope all of you find a close circle of friends to go through life with.You don’t need a club or Greek letters to do that. For those of you who have decided to find a circle of friends via clubs, I hope that you will be a blessed addition to them and that you will be active. For all of us, I hope compassion and encouragement is shown to everyone. The rain this week is pretty much a monsoon for us, as it hasn’t rained in a month or so. Of course God would look down on Searcy, Ark., realize it’s club week, and send some our way. The weather can’t be perfect, can it? Nevertheless, it has not been too bad. I am learning to enjoy the various seasons of the year, and honestly I miss some rain. Better grab an umbrella. Or some ear muffs, as the sonic boom during announcements in chapel was ridiculous. And flames too, how about that. It’s like David Blaine is here.Fall break was a good relief from the madness for me; hopefully your stories are the same. With homecoming this week, be welcoming and kind. I sound like a mother now, so I’ll stop there and let David the shepherd take it from here:Psalms 139: 1-3″O Lord you have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; you understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.”
