Rock for Reynolds
this is probably the most significant event that will take place on campus all semester if not year!! this Friday in the Rec Room at 7:30pm is a Benefit Concert. all the proceeds go to support the nursing students in Washim, India. this is where half our building went this summer on our nursing love works trip. it would be awesome if we could pack that place out and support our sisters in Washim! it is only $10 a month for 1 month's tuition and room and board for their nursing school. imagine how much we could do for them just by going to a concert!

thoughts on prayer...
Prayer is an outward, careful attentiveness to the One who invites us to an unceasing conversation. Prayer is the presentation of all thoughts--reflective thoughts as well as daydreams and nightmares--to our loving Father who can see them and respond to them with divine compassion. Prayer is the joyful affirmation that God knows our minds and hearts without anything being hidden. the more we dare to show our whole trembling self to God the more we will be able to sense that God's love, which is perfect love, casts out our fears, purifies out thoughts, and heals our hatred. --Henri Nouwen
dare to give all your thoughts to God, and see how he uses that...take the plung!
