PRAYING FOR MY BELOVED CRC MEMBERS & CALVIN COLLEGE et al to NOT ACQUIESCE TO FAR-LEFT LIBERALISM TO TRY TO BE ‘COOL’:

JESUS SAID: “I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

And for their sakes ..."

HAPPY REFORMATION DAY! "Reformation Day | Timothy George | First Things"

"... In remembrance of this
event, millions of Christians still celebrate this day
as the symbolic beginning of the Protestant
Reformation. October 31 is not a day for the ghosts
and ghouls of Halloween but a time to remember the
Reformation, especially what Luther wrote in the..."

WINNIE MARRIED GUY FROM MY CALVIN DORM:"Election 2014: High-stakes race for Michigan House control centers on Grand Rapids seat" | MLive.com

 WINNIE MARRIED GUY
FROM MY CALVIN COLLEGE DORM:
"Election 2014: High-stakes race for Michigan House control centers on Grand Rapids seat"

 | MLive.com



I know of Winnie because she married a guy on my same dorm floor, freshman year at Calvin ('85-86)...i became somewhat friends with this guy (steve)...sort of..his dad was a CRC missionary...played sports did a little fishing with steve but didn't realize that he was such a LEFTIST at a school that is known, in general, for being more conservative and towards the right (at least the students and parents, maybe less so the faculty to a certain extent). I really feel mixed about this because they, or she, is with a party that generally is in agreement with issues that I disagree (especially same-sex marriage & abortion), and which Calvin College asks Calvin students to stand against as well (when you apply for acceptance to Calvin
you must also submit a testimony of Christian faith...)

"Calvin remembers Dale Brown" - News and Stories - Calvin College

I remember Prof Brown from my days as an English major (2nd major,'92-94). Among other things,one day he calledme & asked if I wantedto play a game of raquetball (at the old "raquetball plus" where our family had been members when I was a child). I hadn't played RB in ages,and was student teaching at the time (a tiresome task) but I agreed & showed up & found out he's like a raquetball pro...every serve like a gunshot. Needless to say he beat me...I was just left wondering what was the point? I thought he called out of a sense of comraderie,but the point was clearly to prove he was a superior raquetball player (by the way,this was while a few other members of the English dept sat & watched,& Prof. Henry Baron actually laughed,as if they had planned this together as a moment to try to humiliate me...question being why? Old school? ) God bless Dale Brown,but shame on him & the other professors for unnecessarily trying to humble me(I have already been profoundly humbled by many of life's circumstances).Nonetheless,thoughts & prayers for Dale Brown's family.
