I’m thankful for…
I really have to say, I’m thankful for the wonderful school I’ve found in Messiah. Not only is it a challenge academically, but it has also provided me so many opportunities to dive in and stretch my faith. Sure, if you don’t work at it, you’ll fall away in your relationship. It’s [...]

Thanksgiving = much needed rest + time for reflection
For a foreigner living in America like me, some American traditions might seem very foreign. Thanksgiving is one of these holidays you seldom here about unless you are here and hear the excitement in the student’s faces as they await the needed break! For me, the first question was, “What are they thankful about?” It [...]

Talking, talking, sleeping?…no, talking
When I came to college, I thought that I would learn how to be a teacher, do my homework, meet some friends, and then graduate. I had no idea how important the “friend” aspect of Messiah would become. I have met people that I will be my friends for the rest of my life. It [...]

Division III Athletics…Dominate.
Messiah College may be Division III, but overall, I’d say that we’re number 1! Last night, the Messiah Men’s Soccer Team fought their way into their sixth Final Four , with Geoff Pezon scoring the winning goal to end it 2-1. What a thrilling match. The game was not won easily, though, with University [...]

Flubber!
I am a part of a small group through the Koinonia ministry. About six or so of my closest friends and I meet together once a week to study the Bible and pray for each other. It is a great way to stay accountable to each other and also to grow in our relationship with [...]

Sledding in a winter wonderland…
I’m going to let you in a little secret. When it snows at Messiah, the best sleds are trays from Lottie (specially the blue ones over the newer teal ones). Only thing is that Public Safety doesn’t like this fact so be sure to sneakily get them to Cemetery Hill. Cemetery Hill is [...]

Procrastination: The Thrill of an All Nighter
As a junior, I feel like I’ve pretty much figured out the way things work around here, slowly but surely. There is one huge lesson here at Messiah that for some odd reason, has taken me a while to learn. The art of procrasination is a skill that I’ve strengthened and sharpened after years of [...]

Run baby run…
Admist the national champ soccer and softball players, star swimmers, and stellar…well pretty much any type of “ballers” here on Messiahs campus, its pretty easy for a non-athlete like me to have some serious feelings of inferiority. Look left- a soccer game is being played on a nearby field, turn right and a Frisbee is [...]

Are the soccer goals made of corn stalks?
As a soccer player, I had the opportunity to play for a lot of different schools. One of the schools I knew, without a doubt, I would never play for was Messiah. When my older brother, who is a junior here, told me that he had chosen Messiah, I thought it was a joke. Growing [...]
