  • Virginia White: Life beyond the edge of campus
     With all the activities and opportunities offered to students, it's easy to go a week without leaving campus or seeing the world beyond a campus' informal boundaries. As she has settled into her freshman year at Rice University, Virginia White has stayed connected with that outside world during a vigil for victims of human trafficking and through a local Disciples congregation. How can you help college students stay connected with their church and their faith?

  • Katie Johnson: A different kind of Christmas
     Katie Johnson loves the traditions that come with Christmas as much as the actual Christmas holiday itself. But Christmas 2009 will be different. Instead of candelight services and hymns and fellowship, Katie will spend Christmas with her sister in India. As the Christmas season nears, she is remembering that while tradition is important, celebrating Christ's birth is the true reason for the holiday, regardless of where you celebrate.

  • Cambria Findley-Grubb: My life is a 7-layer dip
     Cambria Findley-Grubb loves 7-layer dip; in her case, refried beans, avocados, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, black olives, and cheese. She also sees her life as a 7-layer dip: faith, family, friends, education, church, service, and fun. In both 7-layer dip and her Cambria's life, each element is terrific on its own, but together, they're even better — the sum is greater than the equal of its individual parts.
