the following pages include stories about certain people you can find on campus. Some stories will make you laugh and some will touch your

heart.

When you sit down on a bench to be still and watch all the people on campus you might see a girl that is a tad obsessed with Disney, or people who ride bicycles, or participate in a Worship dance club.

TIME CAPSULE. [a look back at 2008 and all its glory] 2008 has been both good and not-so-good to all of us. We now live in a world where our entire lives are planned out and can be found in the calendar application on our iPhones. We have every song we’ve ever listened to in a thin square device. We no longer get lost and have to call our fathers for directions, because our cars tell us exactly where to go and when we’ll arrive. On the otherhand, many of us aren’t taking any road trips, because gas soared to almost five dollars a gallon this summer. Even worse, the stock markets crashed and millions of people lost their jobs. Barack Obama became president-elect. For many CBU students this was their first year of eligibility to vote, and this election was possibly the most important election of this century.

The year 2008 will soon roll into 2009, and before our eyes the years will pass us by. Maybe the person reading this right now is an alumni of the future. Maybe Blackberries can do time travel now. Maybe cars run only on solar energy. Maybe Starbucks took over the universe. For now, all I have to say is this: Yes my friends, you ate Chipotole every week and you fit into those skinny jeans. You did listen to that crazy rap music and you drove a car that ran on gasoline. You said the word “default” everytime you snapped a picture of you and your friends. These were the trends, these ARE the trends of 2008.

TiVo can be a very important tool to maintaining one’s sanity, especially during midterms and finals. Watching your favorite TV shows can prove to be a great stress reliever or just a good excuse to procrastinate. [photo by: Enoch Kim]

LIGHTS CAMERAACTION.Imagine this. The stage is set, the lights are on and the curtain is up. Why? Today is graduation. You have had a great four years making friends, and learning new things, but now it is time to move on. There are a couple friends in particular whom you have really clicked with, but as the years go by you all sort of lose touch. Ten years down the line, you find yourself working at a university across the country with three of your old CBU friends. Improbable you say? Maybe so but…

“THEY HAVE GONE FROM BEING PEERS IN THE CLASSROOM TO COUNSELOURS FOR LIFE”

Ope Peters

LIGHTS CAMERAACTION.In the fall of 1993, four of our very own CBU professors were

attending Beeson Divinity School located in Birmingham, Alabama. Beeson is an interdenominational seminary located on the Samford University campus. Its mission is to train “God-called persons” for the ministry regardless of their denomination.

Can you guess who these professors are? They are none other than, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Todd Bates, Associate Professor of Church History, Anthony Chute, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Jeff Mooney and Assistant Professor of American Sign Language, Daniel Blair.

All four of these professors were drawn to Beeson for a variety of different reasons, but commonly because of a mutual respect for Beeson’s dean, Timothy George. George was the founding dean of Beeson in 1988, and he is still its dean to this day. “His stature,” Chute related, “is what drew them to the school.”

“Going in,” Mooney added, “we really almost were on the verge of idolizing George because of what he has accomplished and because of who he is. But walking out he was a friend – he had a huge influence on all of us.” All agree with Chute’s observation that “George has made more of an impression on them then they have had on each other.”

During their time together at Beeson, they got to know each other through the classes and meals they shared, and through various extracurricular activities. They also experienced the last meeting between the two influential Christian ministers, W.A.

Criswell and Hershel Hobbs. After graduation, Mooney and Chute went their separate ways, but Blair and Bates ended up serving together at Criswell College in Dallas, Texas.

In 2003, Chute accepted a job here at CBU. When Mooney applied to work here, just one year later Chute was able to vouch for him and his application was accepted. They both in turn pursued Bates, and after a little convincing got him to apply for the position he was accepted for in 2005. Strangely enough, during this process the ASL position opened up for Blair, and he was also

accepted at almost the exact same time as Bates. “It was very encouraging,” Blair stated as he was moving his family across the country to know he had, “good friends already here.”

“It’s amazing,” Chute marveled, “to see how little we knew of each other back in Beeson, and see how much we still have in common.”

To sum it all up Bates acknowledged that he could “clearly see the hand of God bringing them all together.”

Bates continued, “I’ve really grown to appreciate these gentlemen. They have gone from being my peers in the classroom to counselors for life.”

Improbable you said? This is a true story, and who knows? This could be your story 10 years from now, so let’s rewind so you can think again. Imagine this. The lights are on, the scene is set, what are you going to do with it?

Erin McDermott experienced a life-changing journey this past summer. Her survival mounted atop a bike for months trekking her way across the United States tells of strength and courage that could only be God-given. She divulged moments from her epic summer, showing exactly how we can use just a bicycle to change the world one gear-change at a time.

BW: A little information about yourself? EM: Transferred here to CBU in the Spring of 06 and now I’m a “Super Senior.” I graduate this December with a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Studies and a concentration in youth ministries.

BW: What is Blood:Water Mission and how did you discover it? EM: Blood:Water Mission—I discovered it from the band Thrice. I found out that they were doing a project called the “1000 Wells Project.” It was based on the equation $1=1 year of water for 1 African. And then I was checking my e-mail one day and I had an e-mail from Facebook causes that said DONALD MILLER JOINS THE RIDE:WELL TOUR ACROSS AMERICA FOR AFRICA! I looked it up and the deadline was the next day, I did the whole application at work that day and then I realized I had to ride a bike. I ended up getting my bike and all my gear for free from Anthony’s Cyclery in Canyon Crest with help of generous contributions. For two weeks I stared at my bike and I rode probably a total of 100 miles before I left. During the ride, we averaged about 87 miles per day and 8 to 12 hours per day, except Sundays.

BM: Any memorable moments from your trip that you’d like to share with the readers? EM: On the second day of the trip, my teammate Criselda raised her sear and tested it out in the parking lot and she ended up flipping off her pedals and slipping and she fell and broke her tailbone. Also, Tyler, Texas! In Tyler, TX, all the churches came together and made an event called the Ride:Well concert. Sarah Groves played and Donald Miller spoke and joy filled the air! The homeless shelter in Tyler, Texas, raised $2000 on their own and in total the entire town raised $86000 for the 1000 Wells Project.

BW: What did you learn about God and your faith through your crazy summer adventure? EM: A lot of things. I think some of the biggest ones are what it really means to obey and trust Him and let go of everything. And how He’s always faithful and He always provides according to His will. So regardless of our own circumstances or failings, He’s still good and He’s still God.

BW: Tell us about your day-to-day provisions?

EM: We stayed at churches every night and sometimes we would sleep on the floor of the church and sometimes they would feed us from their kitchens. Most of the time we would present at churches even twice on a Sunday since we didn’t ride on Sundays.

BW: What kept you going?EM: Before the trip and even during, I read Corinthians 12: 9-10. Because I’m not a cyclist, I never have been, so I was really kind of scared to go on the trip. But this verse gave me confidence and I couldn’t take any ounce of credit. My only skill was to rely on Him.

Through an entire summer of ups and downs (literally, those hills will get to you), McDermmot and the entire Ride:Well tour team were able to ride their bikes from coast to coast benefiting the 1000 Wells Project tremendously. They came together and made it happen, seeing a small glimpse of what God is capable of doing through them and a few squeaky bicycles.

“He’s always faithful and He always provides according to His will.He’s still good and He’s still God“

Donald Baliaba and Adiel Tiedjop are two respected, well-liked students in the CBU community. They are both great volleyball players, and even better human beings. But how did these two come to be at CBU? After all, they both grew up well over 7000 miles from the campus which they now attend.

Although Baliaba and Tiedjop grew up in different cities in Cameroon (Tiedjop grew up in Bertoua, while Baliaba grew up in Yaoundé) they did have similar memories of the cultures and diversity that surrounded them.

“The multiplicities of the cultures are reflected in the art of living, traditions and craftsmanship. If you are lucky enough to visit Cameroon, you will discover a miniature Africa that brings together all the countries (that combine to make up the continent of) Africa,” Tiedjop exclaimed.

“There are more than 220 different ethnic groups and languages,” Baliaba said. “But 80 percent of the people speak French, and 20 percent speak English. Also, each ethnic group has its custom, dish and practice.”

Being a part of the 80 percent that spoke French, neither Baliaba nor Tiedjop spoke English before they came to CBU. Both agreed that the language barrier was the toughest to overcome.

“Of course it was difficult, because of language. Even though the second language (in Cameroon) is English, I came from French part, and never learned English before,” Tiedjop said. “It was very difficult and challenging,” Baliaba agreed.

Despite the differences and challenges that awaited him, Baliaba was not deterred when it came to making the long journey to CBU. He said, “The environment here in Cal Baptist is good for international students.” Baliaba went on to explain that

although the school offers many more resources and facilities than those in Cameroon, the professors are much closer to their students, and having grown up a Christian, the transition to this tight-knit Christian school was well worth it.

Baliaba said, “I was born in a Christian family; CBU helped me to reinforce my relationship with Christ and to share with others. I have learned in my time at CBU that Christ is every where.” He believed that so much, in fact, that he encouraged his friend Tiedjop, or “Whilly” as many of us know him, to join him here and complete his education at CBU.

Now, having both been here for a fair amount of time, they have no regrets when they reminisce about their decisions to come to CBU. Although they admit that being away from family is hard, they both keep in very close touch with their family members, and appreciate the opportunities that they have gained from coming to CBU.

What do they plan to do with those opportunities? Tiedjop wants to get a job here once he graduates, but ultimately wants to return to France. Baliaba hopes to gain work experience here, ultimately running his own business, and also hopes to return to Africa and help orphans.

After having shown the courage and faith that they have, by literally traveling across the entire world to attend CBU and chase their dreams, whatever the future holds for these two will no doubt be bright. Jesse Parker

byline

1. Try to consider others. Each living area has its own parking lot; Please use your own, if possible (although we think James is fair game for anyone).

2. Is that my car? Your car will not stay clean on its own. Sitting in those lots day after day, they will inevitably be a layer of dust and grime permeating your paint job. Either wash it, cover it or just get used to it.

3. Think before you park. There are certain times when you simply will not be able to find a spot, so it’s best to keep this in mind before you plan to go somewhere. The ideal time to find a parking space is typically on the weekend; most students with cars are either at home or doing something off campus. In contrast, the worst time to park is a weeknight; everybody is back to school and parking is back to its usual competitiveness.

Campus Survival

101

All right, we’ve all been there. You know what we’re talking about: Maneuvering those outrageously long lines swamping the Alumni Dining Commons; driving in circles searching for a parking space; studying in your apartment, surrounded by heaps of books and lecture notes. Sure, it can be aggravating when you tightly clutch your to-go box, navigating your way through the maze of students; or when you are waiting and praying for the elusive parking spot that always appears after you’ve parked two blocks away. So we ask you, what’s a student to do? Here’s some helpful tips from students who can say they’ve been there, done that:

What You Should Know About Parking On Campus:4. Think before you leave. The only sure way to keep your parking space is just to avoid driving anywhere (but who wants to do that?). If you do need to go somewhere, try to do it on the weekend when the parking lots are usually vacant.

5. Think safety. Please be a safe driver. Remember that there are pedestrians at all hours of the day and night, so be alert and drive at a reasonable and safe speed. Holly Gherig, a student who enjoys walking to and from her classes, pointed out, “I like that there are cross walks most places so I feel safe when I cross the street.”

1. Strategize. Be aware of when the busy hours are. After chapel is usually when the ADC crowd is at its peak, particularly when it looks like the entire student body is present.

2. Socialize. The ADC seems to be the hub of communication here on campus. You might consider using this time to catch up with people you don’t have a chance to hang out with otherwise. Take David Newman’s advice, “I survive the caf by mingling; by talking to people that are in lines, and then many times I just get there early.”

1. Read your syllabus! College is stressful and busy enough, with more projects, assignments and tests than we care to recall. Don’t make things more difficult for yourself; when you know about an assignment, don’t procrastinate. Think about the all-nighters you won’t have to stay up for if you finish sooner.

2. Write sticky notes! Do something to remind yourself to study or to get your projects done. Ask a roommate, tape a note card to the refrigerator -- anything that will help you to remember your assignments, preferably before the due date.

Navigating the Cafeteria:3. Sample your creativity! Just because you’re a college student now, doesn’t mean you can no longer play with your food! The great thing about having so many food options is the chance to mix things up a little or try something new.

4. Save your seat. As you’ve probably noticed by now, seating can become very competitive (like parking!); Cody Rohrbacker said, “Save your seat when you first get in, or else you’ll probably never get one.”

Keeping Your Sanity In Spite of Homework:3. Stay focused. It’s so easy to get distracted when you have been doing homework for the past three days straight. “The hardest thing about finals is finding the desire to study, or keeping yourself focused and not getting distracted,” Tracy Blanchard said. Carly Bissell-Fletcher added, “A good way to avoid homework and still get it done is watching The Office while doing homework, and then you’re only half focusing! But you’re laughing at the same time, and it just makes you so happy!”

4. Prioritize. Bissell-Fletcher said, “It’s time management. You have to prioritize.” If you have to drop an assignment, here’s some advice: skip the 5-point assignment in lieu of the 20-point paper.

Barack Hussein Obama officially became the 44th President of the United States at noon on Jan. 20, 2009 and called on a nation in crisis to enter into a “new era of responsibility.” Millions of Americans gathered in front of the nation’s capitol to bear witness to the swearing in of the country’s first African American President.

Obama recited the oath of office with his hand on the same Bible that was used by Abraham Lincoln 148 years ago at his 1861 inaugural and, with that, the 47-year-old senator inherited a White House built by the hands of slaves. In his inaugural address that was just over 2400 words in length, he noted his unlikely path by saying he was “a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath.”

It is common knowledge that Obama is greatly influenced by Lincoln and John F. Kennedy and has often referenced them in his oratory in the past. Despite consulting Kennedy’s famed speech writer, Ted Sorensen, in preparation for his first Presidential speech, Obama asked Americans to recall the hardships the founding fathers faced during the Revolutionary War and echoed the hope and perseverance of George Washington.

“Let it be told to the future world that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it,” Obama said.

From the podium on a frigid day in Washington, D.C., Obama addressed some difficult issues the nation faces today, including the greatest economic recession in a generation and two wars in the Middle East.

“We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waiver in its

defense,” Obama said. He declared that America is “ready to lead once more,” as a “friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity.”

He called for bold and swift action to the dire state of the economy in a nation rocked by unemployment, a broken health care system and energy dependence. He offered concrete details in his efforts to build and transform the country and to “harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.”

“Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and begin the work of remaking America,” Obama said.

For the first time in inaugural history, the President spoke directly to the Islamic nations and did not shrink away from his stiff note in the name of national security.

“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history — but that we will a extend a hand if you are wiling to unclench your fist,” he said.

Obama praised former President George W. Bush for serving the country and for the generosity bestowed upon him throughout the transition of power, but he also signaled a clean break from the Bush era and his intention to reshape the nation’s leadership.

“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works, whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified,” he said.

CHANGE HAS ARRIVED

Racial, generational and party lines were invisible on America’s front lawn where the largest crowd in history gathered for the inaugural of the 56th Presidential term. The onlookers continued along Pennsylvania Avenue for the inaugural parade, cheering for the President and First Lady as they stepped out of their armored limousine to walk during portions of the procession and wave to the enthusiastic crowds.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama began their day attending a service at St. John’s Church followed by coffee at the White House with the Bushes, Cheneys and Bidens. Later, Joseph R. Biden Jr.. was sworn into office as Vice President by Justice John Paul Stevens shortly before Obama was sworn in by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Justice Roberts, swearing in a President for the first time, stumbled over the oath, causing Obama to pause when he realized the error and had to repeat the words out of order. The flubbed line in the 35-word oath appeared all but forgotten when the President greeted him with a friendly slap on the back later at the Capitol luncheon.

The day steeped in tradition continued as the Obamas joined lawmakers for lunch at the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, welcomed by California’s senior senator, Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco. As Chairwoman of the Joint Congressional Committee of Inaugural Ceremonies, she also had introduced the inaugural ceremony, telling the sea of Americans gathered on the front lawn of the Capitol that “future generations will mark this moment as the turning point of real and necessary change.”

A frightening incident occurred during the celebratory luncheon when Senator Edward M. Kennedy, 76, of Massachusetts, suffered a seizure. Colleagues rushed to his side, and he was taken by ambulance to

Washington Hospital Center. Obama offered somber condolences for his close friend and Senate icon. The hospital’s chairman of neurosurgery later said that Kennedy would stay overnight as fatigue had caused the seizure but added that he was “feeling well.” Kennedy revealed in May that he had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer. He underwent surgery in June at Duke University.

Despite the historical and celebratory day in Washington, Obama remained sobered by the state of a battered nation. After the 10 inaugural balls on the President’s evening schedule and the new first family’s first night in the White House, he would awake with all the nation’s challenges waiting for him on his desk. His first official day as leader of the free world would be as uncertain as his road to the White House had once seemed, and he would begin the work in “this winter of hardship” of this great “patchwork country.”

A FALL CLASSICLancer men’s basketball hit the big time when they took on the some of the best NCAA Division I has to offer in the highly ranked UCLA Bruins.

The landmark exhibition took place on Monday, Nov. 3 at Pauley Pavilion in Westwood, and ended in a loss for CBU, but there was nothing but optimism and excitement for Lancer fans, players and coaches alike.

Despite a final score of 86-58, with UCLA on top, Lancer Head Coach Tim Collins was very up beat after the game giving his team an encouraging message to take with them from the experience. “I told them next time we square up with someone that division II school won’t look a bit like this (Division I UCLA),” Collins said.

The campus was buzzing weeks before the game and after camping out and gobbling up the limited amount of tickets released to CBU, students filled buses and rode with anticipation toward the most historic exhibition game in school history.

“This is going to be an exciting game,” Jeremy Fisher said. “I think our defense is determined enough to try to keep them on the outside and hopefully we can move the ball around and stay tough in the middle.” When asked about the atmosphere surrounding the game Fisher responded, “This is amazing; it’s so cool,” echoing the response of so many Lancers in attendance.

The ever-faithful yellow shirted CBU Crazies peppered the stands below the 11 national championship banners that hang inside the arena rooting the team on throughout what was truly a milestone game. The largest concentration of Lancer fans turned section 308 above Wooden Court into their own; standing and cheering throughout the duration of the game.

Hopes were high coming into the match-up and the atmosphere on and off the court did not disappoint.

“I was so excited about going to see CBU play UCLA’s basketball team,” Rochelle Guillen said. “I am also very glad that CBU’s basketball team was able to participate in an opportunity like this because it gave them great exposure and more experience.”

The game itself was a tale of two halves. The first 20 minutes of the game the Bruins outscored the Lancers 41-17, with the UCLA starters playing significant minutes. Two returning seniors Josh Shipp and Darren Collison, who have been integral parts in a program that has gone to three straight final fours, scored 12 and eight points respectively in the half. Mark Roussin went 4 of 7 from the field in the first half scoring

eight points for the Lancers.

Roussin’s scoring, along with some early three’s from Omar Krayem and Brandon Robinson, were the only points the team could muster against a stifling UCLA defense. Game time jitters were evident in the first half of play with the Lancers committing 18 turnovers.

The second 20 minutes of play were a completely different story than the first. CBU was able to

pick up the scoring and actually matched UCLA’s first half point

total with 41 points of their own. Even with UCLA coach Ben Howland putting in his second string players, the lancers were still facing a unit made up of five All-American freshman, a squad many feel is the best recruiting class in the country.

“It was great,” sophomore guard Kris Corso said of the experience. “It was fun to play in front of a big crowd, against a big team. We wanted to show up and compete and I feel like we did that.”

Lancer players and coaches can carry that experience not only through future games and seasons, but for the rest of their lives.

“I thought we handled ourselves really well,” Collins said. “I think we can hang our heads really high for the way that we performed.”

Hallie: So if you mom is my mom and my dad is your dad… and we’re both born on Oct. 11, then you and I are… like… sisters.

Annie: Sisters?!? Hallie we’re twins!!!

Oh the memories. Do you remember this movie? This scene from the 1998 Parent Trap with Lindsey Lohan was one of the most talked about scenes back when I was in elementary school. I remember everyone saying how much fun it would be to have a twin to switch places with, but then again stuff like that only happens in the movies.

Alyssa and Jessica Isgett are 20-year-old identical twin in their junior year at CBU. Jessica is a liberal studies major, while Alyssa (the older of the two

by one minute) is an English major. They had a Parent Trap moment in junior high, which Alyssa remembers well. “So it was the first day of 7th grade and everyone was trying to make a good impression. Well, I tripped up the stairs and dropped my books and folders in front of a group of 8th grade boys. They all laughed and I was so embarrassed that I rushed to class. Later at lunch, a boy walked up and asked ‘Hey, you’re that girl who tripped earlier’. So thinking on my toes I said, ‘No, you must be thinking of my twin sister.’ Jessica still hates me for it.”

Despite the fact that they have different hair colors and hairstyles, 20-year-old, identical twins Tierney and Kathleen Galster are still mixed-up by their professors and fellow students. Tierney is a biology major and Kathleen is a history major. Even with their different majors, Tierney says she is still asked by random people she has never even met “about missing classes or helping them with homework for classes that she’s never even taken!” “It’s pretty funny,” she laughed. “To watch people’s reactions when I tell them I’m not Kathleen!”

Imagine freshman Sarah Wing’s math professor’s surprise, when she learned that one of her students was actually not who she appeared to be. “One day,” Courtney Wing noted, “At the beginning of the semester, my sister wasn’t feeling well enough to go to math class, so I switched places with her and went to her class for her. The teacher didn’t even believe me when I said I wasn’t my twin until Sarah, who was sitting in her seat by this time in preparation for her next class, greeted her! She did a double take and said, ‘Oh my gosh there’s two of you,’” Sarah added.

Jessica and Alyssa Isgett have found that being identical twins is not only fun, but that it can also have certain advantages; like helping you get out of embarrassing situations. [photo by: Danielle Morgan]

Annie: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?Hallie: I don’t know. Pizza…Annie: Topped with…?Hallie: Olives, green pepper…Annie: And…Hallie: Anchovies.

Annie: Oh my God. We are twins!

So as we have seen twins really can switch places with each other and make people believe they are the other twin, but are twins really so similar that they can have the exact same favorite food even if they have never even met each other? I’m thinking stuff like that really does only happen in the movies.

Being identical twins does assume many similarities, but in the case of Jorge and Vincente Andrade who are from Tijuana, Mexico, they have very different hopes and dreams for the future. They were born on Oct. 24, 1988. Laughing Jorge added that he was born first. They both are on the swim team here at CBU and are loving it. Both conquer that it is a blessing to have a twin to be so close to, but they also told me how it can get hard sometimes. Vincente explained, “I would say the worst part is that people consider us one, and we don’t really like that, also I get called Jorge every single time and I’m not!”

Ope Peters & Nicole Davis

Even their reasons for attending CBU are different. Jorge was looking for a Christian college to attend, and swimming helped open that door, while Jorge was looking for a Division 1 university to compete at the collegiate level. “God completely changed everything,” Jorge revealed. Now they both see that swimming here at CBU and swimming for an audience of

one (God) is the best thing that could have happened for them.

Even when it comes to their education, different paths are being taken. Jorge is double majoring in Spanish and psychology, and Vincente is a kinesiology major with a concentration in physical education. When asked what his plan was for the future Vincente answered, “I want to make the Olympic team for my country Mexico, and also my goal is to become a swim coach.” He mentioned that his ultimate goal is to glorify

God. Jeremiah 29:11 is his favorite Bible verse because he understands that he needs to trust and be confident in the plan that God has for him.

Jorge would like to become a bilingual counselor for a Christian high school, and a Spanish professor. His service doesn’t stop there; he is going to travel. “I plan to do missions for a part of my life and serve different people in different countries where people are in need.” He mentioned getting married and raising a family. Although they see there lives going different places they both have tremendous trust in God, giving them a very optimistic look on there future.

“It’s so hard to tell those guys apart!” explained Andrew Hochradel, friend of Vincente and Gorge Andrade. Sometimes looking alike can create a problem, but these guys know how to settle their differences; or lack of, in their case. [photo by: Eric McFarland]

Julie Holden is a 23-year-old CBU student that has traveled and lived all over the world. This multicultural drifter with a passion for missions and a love for travel has experienced more than most her age and is constantly thirsty for more.

“I get tired of living in the same place,” Holden confessed.

Appropriately, this self-described vagabond is an intercultural studies major and hopes to become a missionary.

Growing up throughout the Philippines, Thailand, as well as the United States, with her missionary parents and older sister, Holden has eclectic language skills with a little Thai, Spanish and Tagalog mixed in.

When asked what she missed the most about living in Asia, Holden replied, “I really miss Thai food and how cheap everything is there. I just miss the culture in general. I know that’s really broad, but it’s hard to explain.”

In regards to mission work, Holden thoughtfully rattles off a list of opportunities she’s had to serve. Going far beyond just one “life-changing experience” she has made it her lifestyle. Growing up, her family helped plant churches everywhere they went. During the aftermath of the devastating tsunami in the summer of 2004 after she graduated high school, Holden and her family worked hard to give aid to those affected, hosting short-term missions groups in their guesthouse while her mom ran the operations and cooked for everyone.

“We’d deliver necessary items to the temporary housing areas like towels, cartons of eggs and toiletries,” she said. “That was probably my favorite summer ever. Although I’d lived there a few years, I got to see a side of Thailand I’d never seen before. I spoke more Thai and learned more in those three months than I did living there,” she remembered.

“I got to build relationships with indigenous Thai people, and I even called one older woman my Thai grandma,” Holden recalled. “It was amazing hearing the stories of survival people had, especially after seeing some home videos.”

Despite her fascination with the international lifestyle, when in the States, Holden feels most at home in Southern California. A true ‘free spirit’ she fits right in.

“What I like about California is the people here are pretty chill and relaxed,” she said. “I’ve lived in a lot of states, and California seems to fit me the best. It’s known for the sunshine, but you can also go to the mountains for the snow, or a lake, and it’s all in the same state. The beach is so accessible and I love the laid-back lifestyle. There are also so many different cultures here.”

Initially drawn to California by opportunities at Hume Lake Christian Camp, Holden decided to finish up her bachelor’s degree at CBU with the help of an International Mission Board Scholarship.

Always looking for a challenge, she recently joined CBU’s nationally prominent diving team as one of only two girls.

“It’s a lot more technical than I thought,” Holden said. “Everyone watches the Olympics and thinks ‘I can do that,’ but it’s really a lot of work to get it just right.”

Her tendency to take every challenge and adventure that comes her way has occasionally worked against her. Born with only one kidney and one ovary, the risks for her engaging in physical activity are certainly higher than your average athlete.

In addition, during a recent trip to Thailand to visit her parents, Holden was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, a condition in which her body lacks a hormone that lets her know when she no longer needs water causing her to be constantly thirsty. It is so rare that a number of doctors had previously overlooked it.

“My condition was on an episode of “House”,” Holden laughed. “That’s how freakish it is.”

However, her many sports injuries and scars prove that she won’t be stopped. “There’s just no point to be overly-cautious,” she said. “You can get hurt doing anything, so I’d rather get hurt doing something adventurous and fun. I’m very active, and if you take away that, I’m not even the same person.”

In the future, Holden hopes to be able to complete a triathlon, improve on her surfing skills, dive the Great Barrier Reef and visit every single country in the world. Given her record, nothing is out of reach.

Disney Fanatic

Kim Lewis

Amy Eckerdt is a Disney fanatic. Just like any little kid, she grew up watching Disney movies. As she grew older, her love for Disney did not fade. She became fascinated with the history of Disney, and how Walt Disney’s movies were made. Disney allows children to dream of fantasies, and adults to go back to those dreams and be kids again. “Disney movies are cute and cheesy. They make me happy,” Eckerdt said. Everyone can relate to that.

Eckerdt stayed home sick one day in eighth grade. She started to watch Cinderella. After that, she started watching Disney movies more carefully and became fascinated with how they were made. She became a season pass holder two years ago. Last spring, she made a goal for herself and kept to it.

“I went to Disneyland twice a week every week except for spring break,” Eckerdt said. She has kept that goal for the fall semester as well, including a trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. “My favorite park was the Magic Kingdom because it is just like Disneyland; but the Animal Kingdom was really interesting. I really liked the tree of life they had there.”

Disney World has a lot of different restaurants to choose from. There are some that specialize in different culture’s foods, and others that have quirky themes. “My favorite was the Yak & Yeti. It was really good Pan-Asian food. But Disneyland has my favorite restaurant - the Blue Bayou,” Eckerdt said. Of course, unless you know the right people, it is almost impossible to eat there without a reservation. Her favorite movie is Mary Poppins, and her favorite character is Bert. “They actually had to re-shoot the rooftop scene in Mary Poppins,

which took a week the first time. The film had a scratch on it, so the scene took two weeks total to shoot,” Eckerdt said. Her favorite ride is the Haunted Mansion because it never scared her. Her favorite Disney song is “Grim Grinning Ghosts” from that ride. “My favorite land would have to be Fantasyland. I really like it because it’s like nowhere else you can go in the entire world, except for Disney parks, but you can just be in a fairy tale there,” Eckerdt said.

Every little girl’s dream is to live in a castle with her prince. With the Year of a Million Dreams sweepstakes going on, Disney has made part of that dream come true. Families can win many different prizes, and one of them is spending the night in the castle. Eckerdt didn’t get to do that, but she did get the dream fast pass, as well as an extra prize. “My roommate and I were on Main Street and a couple in front of us had won the extra hour after the park closed. They had to catch a bus so they gave them to us,” Eckerdt said. They got to spend an extra hour in the park after it closed, riding rides with no lines.

Speaking of the castle, Eckerdt shared that the Disneyland castle is actually turned around. “The part we see as the front is actually the back. Some guy was looking at the model and heard Walt Disney coming down the hallway so he put it down, but it was backwards. When Walt walked in he said ‘I saw what you did with the castle and I actually like it,’” Eckerdt said. Another time when Eckerdt was younger, she was riding the Alice in Wonderland ride with her brother while the Electrical Parade was going on. Right when the doors open and the car goes to the tracks outside, Alice’s float went by and she said to Eckerdt, “Have fun on my ride.”

Eckerdt wants to be a Disney historian someday. She really enjoys learning about the animated movies, and the way they are made. “Before Mickey Mouse, it wasn’t normal for animation to have sound. It was revolutionary. And then “Snow White” was the first animated film in America. I find it fascinating how one man’s dream can change entertainment altogether,” Eckerdt said.

Walt’s perseverance didn’t allow anything to get in his way. She actually auditioned for a dance part in the High School Musical parade. “I pick up choreography pretty quickly. I didn’t get very far, but I had a lot of fun,” Eckerdt said. She plans on applying for a job there in the future.

The Disney history is part of the Imagineering department. “I believe you can get an internship after working there for a year as a cast member,” Eckerdt said. What she really wants to do is open her own art museum at Downtown Disney. She wants to display original sketches and sell reproductions from the actual animated movies.

“I really enjoy learning about the history of the animated films,” Eckerdt explained. She has quite the disney collection that is displayed in her apartment, even her movies are categorized by the release dates. She is well on her way to becoming a Disney historian.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years 80-81

Erin Whitt

Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years?

We come to college with big ideas, big goals and big dreams. As we go through the years, new doors open, eyes are widened and goals change. Suddenly the possibilities seem endless. We really do have the power to be whatever we desire. We’ve been given the glorious gift of education. The question is, what will we do with it? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Some of us see ourselves as high-powered business men and women, rising to the top of corporate America. Some of us see ourselves as the next generation of educators. Some of us see ourselves in far away countries, ministering to God’s children. Ten years seems pretty far away to us now, but time flies, lives change and we’ll all eventually grow up and move on.

For some students, the answer to where they will be 10 years was right on the tips of their tongues. For others, it took some serious thought and contemplation. Laura Kruse, a history major and World War II enthusiast said, “In 10 years I hope to become a head museum curator in a museum that focuses on America’s historical events, such as the USS Arizona Memorial, where I interned this summer. Once I have spent years in the museum and am more experienced, I would like to open a museum dedicated to the women of the United Sates who have shaped our country and helped us to get where we are in America today.”

“In 10 years I will have a master’s of divinity under my belt. Myself, and several others from this fine school plan to move to the U.K. where we will start a church; a church where community and discipleship are the foundation under the word of God,” applied theology major Joel Hurst said.

Instead of a 10-year plan, Jordan Trivison, a double major in political science and business administration has a lifetime plan. “This will be most likely around 30 years from now, I would like to become the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is the head of the U.S. State Department, which is concerned with foreign affairs. As the representative of the U.S. to the world this position is a heavy load; however, it is one that I would like to bear.”

Victor Schmitz, a criminal justice major, knows exactly where he will be in 10 years, even down to his dogs name. “I will be on the SWAT team with the Riverside Police Department, working my way to Sergeant. Hopefully, I’ll have a wife, a kid or two and a white lab named Coppers.”

Little did we know that while we were playing imaginary school, cops and robbers and doctors when we were kids, that we would be practicing for our futures. Once upon a time, it was all just a dream, a vision and an aspiration. Now our big ideas, big goals and big dreams are becoming a reality.

Mixing It Up! The CBU Student Recipe Book

The CBU Alumni Dining Commons is certainly a popular place! We are blessed to have a cafeteria with such amazing food. People from all over come for the Sunday brunch - and with good reason! However, as awesome as the food is, it never hurts to change things up a bit and create something entirely new. One can look at the ADC and see not only great food already prepared, but an entire set of ingredients simply awaiting to be combined. Often, it seems that we see something someone has created and think, “I wish I thought of that!” So with that in mind, I have compiled some student recipes that should help get your creative juices flowing. Just remember, the possibilities are endless...

BreakfastErin McDermott’s Special CerealHere it is! The secret recipe to a CBU favorite. When asked about her cereal, McDermott said, “I just did it one day because it sounded good. And it turned out to be right. Then I had all these people saying it looked good and asking me to make it for them. Then people were telling me that I should market it somehow to earn money to pay off student loans. I thought about that for a few seconds and then realized it was unlikely. But if anyone does decide to take my idea and run with it, remember I have a lot of debt and will probably never make a lot of money, so you should at least give me some of the profits.”

Ingredients: Frosted Mini WheatsGranolaRaisin branA little more granolaWhite chocolate chipsCraisinsSoy milk

Directions: Mix ingredients in a bowl. Start with Frosted Mini Wheats, then add some granola. After, add some Raisin Bran and a bit more granola. Last add some white chocolate chips and craisins with soy milk. It is important to let the milk soak into the Mini Wheats for a little bit. It’s delicious.

LunchRyan Mier’s Super SandwichWhen asked about the massive sandwich in front of him Mier said, “It tastes like a mini salad between bread. It’s probably the greatest sandwich ever, and has all the necessary components.”

Ingredients:Wheat BreadMustard MayoLettuceSproutsTurkeyCheeseTomatoesOnionsCucumbersSpinach

Directions: Start with bread, then add mayo and mustard. Then, just throw the rest on according to your liking.

That sounds delicious!

DrinksGrab a spoon! It’s time to mix it up a little!Mocha Milkshake“It’s basically an explosion in your mouth. If you’re having trouble, come ask me and I’ll make you one,” Monica Baughman said.

Ingredients:Vanilla ice creamChocolate syrupCoffeeMilkOptional ingredients: brownies, Oreos, Heath bars, Butterfinger.

Directions I always start by putting a little bit of coffee in the bottom of the glass. Then I add the toppings (brownie, Butterfinger, etc.) and then put vanilla ice cream on top of that. I take a knife and stir that until it’s all mixed together. The amount of milk you put really depends on how thick the milk shake is. If the consistency is runny and I haven’t added milk, I’ll add more ice cream to thicken it up, but I always like to put some milk in there so the taste isn’t quite as strong.

Beef Fajita Taco SaladGo south of the border with this healthy and refreshing combination.

Ingredients:LettuceBeef Fajita or Hamburger pattieTomatoesShredded CheeseSour CreamGuacamoleSalsa/ Catalina dressingChips

Directions: Over salad, crumble a hamburger pattie or top with beef fajita fixings. Add tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and guacamole. Drizzle with salsa or Catalina dressing. Crumble chips over salad and consume with delight!

Dinner

No CBU recipe page would be complete without a tribute to the glorious creation that constantly graces the ADC with it’s presence.

Dance for the Lord!

Worship Dance Club Founder Janet Harbin thinks students should worship in many ways, including dance. Harbin said, “ I think this club is breaking cultural barriers. A lot of people love to dance and sign. I think it’s a good thing for other people to see that you can sign and dance as worship.”

In our large pursuit of “Worship with Purpose” this year, Harbin shows us that we may have overlooked ways to worship fully.

The Worship Dance club dances. They dance like David. They dance for the Lord.

They want to bring in further types of worship. In addition to dancers the club also has signers. They want to explore every possible avenue to worship fully. Harbin is adamant about this. “We just want to bring out every possible form of worship that we can think of,” she said.

Harbin’s goals for the club are big. “I would just like the club to be more involved with the school. I want it to be known that there is a dance team here, there is a signing team here. I want it to reach people,” she said.

The Worship Dance club is in its first year. Propelled by its members, creative ideas and fearless spirits they are accomplishing big things already. They performed in chapel. They danced on the chapel stage. They held an event to showcase the talents of its members and the beauty of these forms of worship.

Harbin whole-heartedly believes that this entire phenomenon was inspired and is being led by God. “I do think that this is God driven and that God really did want me to start this club because everything is falling into place. I want it to be an open force of worship and ministry at this school,” she said.

This club is worshiping God at CBU. Worship is becoming an explosion. The students in this club are preparing to lead the way into a worship revolution.

Sign Choreographer Angela Browne said, “I’m trying to get people to open their minds.”

And that is exactly what she is doing.

Club founder Janet Harbin embraces Andrea Bullock. Harbin is enthusiastic about the quickly forming bonds between club members. Harbin said, “Everyone gets along in the club. We’re having fun. We’re starting to feel like a family already!”

Andrea Bullock demonstrates worship through dance in a beautiful routine. Sign choreographer Angela Browne couldn’t be more proud of this. Browne said, “I want the club to grow and open peoples minds.” [photos by: Nathan Yi]

The hands of God; that’s were it all started. From the depths of the ocean to the unfathomable heavens above, our universe is the perfect place to look for inspiration of impeccable artistry. And yet, the creation of man continues to be the most amazing work of art that this world has ever seen. Why, you may ask? God created man in his image; therefore, man has been given the ability to create in his image.

This has been true for Ojai, Calif. resident Michael Ring. For as long as he can remember, he has been involved in the world of art. “I’ve been taking private art classes since I was in elementary school, so it has always been a part of my life,” Ring said.

“My first art class was Sharon Butler’s Art Workshop. I took it all through elementary school. That’s one of my fondest memories because her workshop was an awesome and creative workspace. After that, in junior high, I started walking over to the high school after school and the art teacher would let me come in and work in the classroom. Then in high school, I took AP Studio Art class and also took a life drawing class at our local art center, which is a class where you learn how to draw the human figure.”

Ring expressed how significant art has been to him. “When I was younger it was like eating or breathing to me. I would have to jot something down in my sketchbook all the time.“

Unlike others his age, upon graduating from high school, Ring was determined and ready to attend Savannah School of Art and Design in Savannah, Ga. However, God had other plans for him, and apparently so did his grandparents.

“Right before school started my freshman year my grandparents offered to pay for my first year of school if I came to CBU because they really wanted me closer to home. It was an offer that I couldn’t refuse, but I now see it as the work of God, and I don’t consider anything that happened an accident at all,“ he said.

Throughout his success, his apparent remarkable ability to capture the beauty of life in different expressions of art, Ring admitted that his greatest inspiration has been his twin sister Robin. “She was born with a small heart at birth and as a result of lack of oxygen to her brain she is a bit slower than most people. She always has a cheerful disposition though. No matter what, you can always count on her to be goofy and smiling,” he said.

When asked how God’s will is incorporated in his artistic ability, Ring was very confident in his response. “Perseverance has always been an important part of my work process. I am always trying to utilize my talents so that I can be the person God intended me to be. Sometimes that may mean creating a piece that communicates a certain message toward an audience, or other times it may mean just using my skills for the good of others like helping someone learn how to draw, or lending my talents to the church. I think children’s illustration, (my favorite style) is an area God has been pushing me toward, and I feel I could really make a difference through that medium.“

So what does it mean to be artistic, and how can we as mere mortals of an inevitably passing world create a work of art to be forever immortalized in his image? To be artistic means to understand the beauty of creation in all its complexities, and yet completely embrace it as a simple work of art. After all, our God is an artist.

If only you knew…If only you knew that I was more than just a song, more than just a common tune.

See I have a melody of my own. A melody that has flowed from within me since birth;

A melody that continues to stream across life’s demanding road.No, not every note was played in rhythm and yes, I stumbled upon abrupt accidentals, and rapid runs, but that’s me.

That’s my melody, unique in design, hand-crafted by my Father.If you choose to, you could hear it. My melody.

It’s crooning, and caroling. It’s chirping and chanting. It’s my melody.And if you only knew where it began, or where I dream it would go.

Then you would hear it. Then you would know,That I am more than just a song, more than just a common tune.

I am unique in design, finely tuned, in pitch and deftly conceived by the Maestro Himself, God.

To the Light

If by some random chance, you or someone else, approached me and asked, “What is your favorite praise and worship song?”I would ponder a moment and say, “I’ll have to get back to you on that.”

See, there are just so many songs that, over decades, have caused a soul to yearn for more of Him, to cry out for mercy, forgiveness, for love. Songs that just speak of his beauty and greatness, His glory and power.So, imagine yourself being asked that same question, what would you say? What song would you choose?

Take your time now, for I can understand the difficulty in settling on just one song.

But, as I sit here looking at where I’ve been, and barely even able to fathom where God will take me, I think of the song “Chasing After You” by Ty Tribbett.

“Each and every day I will seek Your face. My soul is crying out for more. I want more of You.” There have been moments in my life when all I could do was cry. Moments now, when all I can do is cry. Yet in those moments, in the midst of despair, fear, pain, reluctance, I find myself in want of Him. Even though my world at times can be full of struggles and misery my heart and my soul are constantly longing for more of God.

“I won’t be satisfied nor content of where I am. So I will apprehend till I’m captured by what I’m after.”

My life is this never ending track of a continuous, unceasing, pursuit of God. I decide to follow my God on a minute-by-minute basis. There’s no default button, no autopilot to place me on course. It’s an active struggle for me. It takes discipline in the Word, staying connected to God.

“And I will go from faith to faith, from glory to glory. And I’ll forever be chasing after You. I’ll be chasing after You.”

I’m not satisfied with just visiting the same places. I’m not satisfied with only knowing God this much, with only giving Him everything but my best. I have been chasing after Him. I have been running after Him. This path of pursuing God takes great effort.

Life will always have its struggles, and I’ve learned that through experience.

“But I will press toward the mark for the prize and I won’t faint. There’s one thing that I desire and that’s what I’m going for.”

I run so hard after Him, I persistently give of myself to one day hear Him say, “well done.”Laura Manimtim

2oO9 Graduating Class’ Will

We all wait excitedly for this day to come, don’t we? And now that time has come for the class of 2009. The time when all graduating seniors can finally tip their hats, wave good-bye and say “See ya!” college. For most of us, it is a tremendous event in the short-lived four years we are here – something in which we will never experience again.

It’s a season of our lives we are blessed to experience first hand. And now, for a lucky few, it’s time to move forward and receive the even greater blessings that. For some, it will be the ideal job. Others might hope to move out of

Mom and Dad’s house, get married and maybe have a family someday. Whatever the reasons, the graduating class will still hopefully look back on our time here at CBU with nothing but the sweetest memories.

So, as graduating Seniors, this is where you get involved. If there was just one thing you could leave behind, call it a legacy, if you will, what would it be? Here’s what your fellow classmates had to say:

“I, Matthew Cook, bequeath to Kevin Hatley, my ability of being productive and having fun during late night study group sessions because it is important learn the material for the test, yet more important, to make great friendships along the way!”

“I, Bethany Walden, bequeath to Dayna Christian, my homecoming queen crown, because she is an amazing person with queen qualities, and I love her to death. ‘Remember to vote Dayna Christian for Senior Queen next year!’”

“I, Nathan Yi, bequeath to Sol Kim my title and responsibilities as the president of the renown Adventure Club, so that he can continue the legacy of having fun and giving others the opportunity to have fun too. ‘Remember, Sol, be as cheap as possible because students are cheap! Love, Hyung- Big Brother.”

“I, Rebecca Alexandru, bequeath to Carly Bissell-Fletcher and Danie Brown, our apartment mascot Sunny Floret, because she will make your life wonderful and everyday enjoyable!”

“I, Danielle le Roux, bequeath to Carissa Gonzales, the continued company of our dear friend Patrick. May he lose many a card game!”

“I, Anita Thompson, bequeath an empty parking space to whoever can get there first!”

“I, Jackie Gray, bequeath to Cassondra Conant, Jennifer Greenwalt, Kristie Mahon and Elena Zanone the entire Caf because they said I could give you anything. It is now yours.”

“I, Amy Vogelsang, bequeath to the professors of CBU, all my appreciation for their outstanding achievements.”

“I, Joel Hurst, bequeath to Doug Collins, an endless supply of Seven-Eleven slurpies, because they are the source of all life and energy at any and all hours after midnight and will endow you with perseverance for those long-long papers in the late-late nights.”

“I, Jessica Millard, bequeath to any future blond music student the joy, the honor and the privilege of dealing with Matthew McConnell.”

“I, Daniel Arismendi, bequeath to any mischievous young college student the joy of driving 20 laps around the round-a-bout and making your passenger nearly puke.”

“I, John Henry Helms III, bequeath to my brother, Dave Helms, my legacy as THE CBU Prankster, so that when he feels mischievous he has an outlet to release his inner schemer. I also bequeath to Devron Suttle, Male Choral’s tambourine and shaker, so that he can expel the energy of rhythm that is within his heart to audiences forever.”

“I, Tim Fox, bequeath to Katie Seipp my Hailey Wade Facebook profile, so that she can continue the best pranks ever at CBU.”

“I, Hector “Mister” Jimenez, bequeath to the hands of the O ce of Spiritual Life leaders of 2010 the Chapel praise band in the hope and prayer that it continues to be a blessing to the CBU student body and that it also continues to grow in musical diversity.”

“I, Sarah Britton, bequeath to all freshmen, a lesson I wish I’d learn sooner – Don’t let yourself get so lost in the business of school that classes, grades and projects overshadow God; in all things put Him first, as this helped me find more time for studying and more joy in life!”

At first glance Danny Francis seems like any other Baptist applied theology (BAT) major and theatre geek. You may see him indoors with his sunglasses on at times. However, when he is not wearing them, you might notice that he is not quite looking at you when he talks to you. Francis does not have some sort of movie star complex or anti-social behavior, but rather bright light can damage his vision, and he is not able to see you if he looks directly at you. For just over the past three years, he has struggled with a type of macular degeneration called Stargardt’s Disease. The effect of this disease is vision loss and blurring in the center of the sight.

Francis explains that there are two forms of macular degeneration, a “dry” form and a “wet” form. “I’m not too sure of the details, but to my knowledge, the wet type is dealing with the blood vessels in your eyes, they kind of burst, and that creates big black spots, and that I believe is somewhat treatable. The dry type is genetic, it doesn’t have any bursting of blood vessels, and that one they don’t have a cure for,” he explained.

It is this “dry” type that has been with Francis since birth, but did not significantly affect him until his junior year of high school. “I couldn’t read the board in my French class. My teacher was getting really mad at me and said, ‘Francis go get glasses.’ I went and got glasses and there was no difference. And so I said, ‘Sorry I’m doing everything I can,’“ Francis remembered. It was not until that summer that he went to another eye doctor who took photos of the inside of his eyes. These photos revealed that he had Stargardt’s Disease.

The vision loss has now stabilized, but much damage has already been done. “Within two years, I lost my eyesight, which went from 20/20 to 20/200. So it was a big drop and now it has kind of stabilized. I don’t think it will get much worse and the doctors don’t think so either.” But this is not the sort of poor eyesight that glasses can fix, in fact that is the first question people always ask him when they learn of his condition.

There are two things that can continue to hurt his vision. Bright light and vitamin A. “The problem is that the eye doesn’t know what to do with the vitamin A, so it produces waste in the macula - the center of the back of the eye - and that waste just kills the cells there and then it doesn’t pick up light,” Francis explained.

How does a view through Francis’s eyes look? Francis explained, “It’s like those shower panels which are plastic that you can kind of see through, but you can’t see details. My vision is like that, where it’s all blurry, but only on steroids. If I look straight at the person, I don’t see

them; I just see a big blur of grayish. I can manipulate my eyes to see where I want to look, by looking where I don’t want to. When I look at people, I have to look at them using this technique, and then I can see their eyes. With people that I meet for the first time, I usually look at them straight in their eyes, otherwise, it’s a little awkward.”

Francis has not let this unfortunate condition change his life. He has chosen to pursue a BAT degree even though it demands a great deal of reading and studying, which can be very difficult. “If I’m reading for an hour, I might get 12 or 10 pages done, but it puts strain on my eyes, so sometimes I just have to put the book down, close my eyes, relax for a bit, than pick it back up because it’s a bit intensive,” Francis said.

“My teachers are nice, I’m sure if I were to go up to one of them and tell them that I tried to read the book in time, but my eyes literally couldn’t do it, and ask for an extra week, they would probably let me, but I haven’t had to pull the blind card yet. I’m proud about that,” he said.

But, his classes are not the only place that give him trouble. “The hardest thing with theatre and my eyes is auditions, because what they do is they have you cold read, which is where they give you this thing and say, ‘okay you two people read this scene, go out there right now.’” This is a particular problem for Francis since he has to hold the script several inches away from his face to read it, which makes acting difficult. “Another problem is that I can’t see my other actor’s facial expressions on stage, so it’s like okay I can’t really play off of you, so I just have to do it in my own way and hope they’re going along with it. That is another big problem.”

Francis does not let his eyes keep him away from the theatre, but he has done quite well at it. Francis has performed over five significant roles in CBU plays including Bottom in Midsummer Night’s Dream in the Spring of 2008 for which he won an ITL (Inland Empire Theatre League) Award.

The disease, however, holds some entertainment value for Francis as well. “In my classes if I’m looking straight at the professor, sometimes his head is not there. So especially for teachers like Richard Mobley or Jeff Lewis that are really active, you see this guy with no head moving his hands all over the place. Sometimes it’s quite entertaining to have eyes like this. It comes in handy sometimes.”

sacrifice for Sweetwater

When faced with the impoverished state of many of the world’s countries we are convicted by our excessive lifestyles; however beyond making donations few of us do much to change the existing conditions. Nick Coibion, founder of Team Sweetwater, was in his Global Studies class when he felt that God had called him to make a difference.

“Professor Jeff Lewis was talking about the physical condition of the world, specifically in the 10-40 window. When he shared that 30,000 children die everyday from hunger, he broke down crying. It was at that moment I felt the Holy Spirit asking the question, ‘So what are you going to do about it?’ and that’s all I remember from the rest of that class,” Coibion said.

After a considerable amount of prayer and research Coibion found an organization, Gospel for Asia, which was exactly what he wanted. The lure of this particular organization was the Christian focus, these wells were built near churches so the populace would receive not just a physical improvement, but a spiritual one as well. They were able to build one well in a third world country for $1,000, a mere fraction of the cost for other organizations. “We set our goal high, deciding that we wanted to build 100 wells in 100 villages,” Coibion explained.

Setting the bar at $100,000, Team Sweetwater decided to raise money by hiking 1,700 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, starting at Campo, Calif. and ending in Asheville, Ore. They planned to stop at churches along the way, to ask people to make donations by the mile. While many people showed support by donating money, Tim Wilkins and Caleb Childers made the even bigger sacrifices of agreeing to join him for the hike.

“When I first heard what Nick was planning on doing I told him I would be willing to donate money and anything else he needed. By the end of that semester he told me he would like me to think about coming with him. I prayed about it for a month and got some counsel from my parents. By mid-July I had joined the team,” Wilkins explained.

The team members wanted all the money they received to go directly to the cause; this meant that the cost of hiking equipment would come straight out of their pockets. In order to do this they all had to make hard sacrifices. “One idea we talked about was just living simply. What creature comforts can we cut back on to advance the Kingdom of God, how does that look? This semester Nick decided not to have his car here, not going out to eat or to movies or to Starbucks as we normally would -- basically just cutting out that little things that really add up if you think about it. It’s just being conscious and asking yourself before you use your time, your money or your resources, is this profitable?” Wilkins said.

By eliminating things that were not necessary, they began to appreciate the things that really matter. “You begin to realize a lot of the things you have in life you don’t need; you realize a lot of things you do in life you don’t necessarily need to do; you build a dependence on community, you build a dependence on friendship and you build a dependence on God,” Childers said.

“Yeah, I’m gonna walk 1,700 miles with these guys with a camera. That’s the reason I’m here, to help get the word out,” Caleb Childers shared over lunch with his teammates. Childers, age 20, will be documenting Team Sweetwater’s hike this summer on the Pacific Crest Trail. [photo by: Enoch Kim]

“I don’t have to buy razor blades anymore, even shoes. I got these for free from my tennis class so I didn’t have to go and buy shoes,” Nick Coibion, the founder of Team Sweetwater, explained how the team has cut back to save money for their trip. The team decided to pay for the trip out of their own pockets so that all donations will go to their cause.

Team Sweetwater understands the dangers that are involved with hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but that won’t stop them. “We’re out here for something much bigger than ourselves and we serve a very big God. The first rule for hiking out in the wilderness is always be faster than your slowest friend, and I know I can beat Nick. But it’s not a huge worry our lives are in God’s hands, I think that’s the best protection policy,” Tim Wilkins described.

During the summer of 2008, I spent three weeks on the island of Java in Indonesia. It was amazing! Since then I have had a “heavy burden on my heart” for the people of Java. While I was there I made many friendships, and connections with missionaries, which I long to pursue further.

Someday, I would like to go back to Indonesia as either a short-term or long-term missionary. Regardless of which way I end up serving, I want to make missions my life and my career. This hasn’t always been my dream though. Initially, I had absolutely “no interest in missions. God opened my heart to missions” the fall of 2007 during Seek Week here at CBU. After hearing a man named David Platt speak, “I realized that I needed to be more open to missions. Once I was willing to be open to it, missions became my passion and my desire.” In the future I hope to “positively affect the world for Christ.” Specifically, “I want to minister to children who have gone through a tragedy. I want to go into a country through the church” or some other avenue, and minister to the “emotional and spiritual needs of people who have lost a loved one.” While I’m doing this I would also like to “share the gospel with them.”

This is my desire because, “as a Christian I think this is one of my biggest responsibilities.”

I’m still not exactly sure how I’m going to finance everything, but right now I am really interested in working with the International Missions Board (IMB). IMB is part of the Southern Baptist Convention, and they meet all of the monetary needs for each of the missionaries they send out.

It sounds good, but I still want to do some more research before I make up my mind. All I know is that I want to live Romans 20:15-16, which says; “And thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.”

Waiting Expectantly,Becca Ubrun

To my fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I have a vision; a goal; an idea. I “believe I have been called to live in abundance” – to make sure everyone knows who they are and that they are worthwhile.

A couple years ago, a friend of mine went on a mission trip to the Ukraine. When she came back, she told me that the orphans are not very well taken care of over there. “That’s not okay with me.” I decided at that moment that I wanted to “purposely affect people for the rest of my life.”

Ukraine already has orphanages and an adoption system in place, but I want to make it better. “I want to make the adoption process speedier, and be able to fast-track kids who want to be adopted by U.S. parents who want them” – but that’s not all. I want to “open doors and give orphans the chance to fulfill their potential through teaching and serving.”

This is not a “singular cause” because my cause will affect people on every level of their life, so I have a list. I have been compiling a list of names and numbers of people “who have dreams to affect the world.” I hope to “inspire people to be the change and give orphans hope while finding those who wish to shower them with love.”

I really don’t see myself serving in this way forever, because “this is my dream, but it’s not necessarily my life.” I see myself going into a country for one to two years, making sure my program gets stabilized, and then passing it on to people I have trained. Then I’ll move on to another country and start the process all over again.

Many wonder how I’m going to be able to fund this ambitious plan. Well, “financially I’m not the smartest person,” but Psalm 50 talks about how God owns “the cattle on a thousand hills,” so I’m sure he’ll provide. I’ve also been saving money, which I’ve placed it in a trust fund. “If I can’t see my dream into completion at least there is seed money to help someone else get it started. There are those who have the dream, and there are those who fulfill it.” We’ll see what God has for me.

Until then,Shae’von Adams

I begin writing this story surrounded by girlfriends. Even now we reminisce about all the memories that were made in the hall of 3D. Where it all began.

Move in day was the day we were bombarded by sweaty FOCUS leaders who were determined to carry our boxes of luggage, even up three flights of stairs in 100-degree weather, wearing smiles from ear to ear. We bustled in and out of our rooms. Sizing up the bathroom stalls, the number of sinks and whether or not the showers had doors.

Our CBU journey began with a series of events known as “Freshmen Orientation.” The goal of this is to help us get to know each other, however, there were times when our first impressions weren’t always accurate (Thanks Clash and Bowl). These details seem trivial now, since we became so close in just a matter of weeks. Living together meant putting aside the facades and revealing our good and bad quarks.

We met our Resident Assistant Joelle Seesing who became our big sister. It was through her encouragement, event planning and bible study that we began to trust her. She truly wanted to be our friend and we couldn’t run from her genuine smile and caring heart.

Our friendships deepened as we spent countless nights gathered in the hall talking about boys, school, friends and home. We built brotherly relationships with the guys on our brother hall through events and “open dorm hours.” We discussed theology, car problems, went to the beach late at night; heart attached their hall, baked cookies and drove to Vegas one spontaneous night with them. They became the guys on campus we could really trust and go to for advice.

As the year flew by we filled our time with Apples to Apples game nights, used the hall as a catwalk, skate ramp, basketball court and bowling lane (sorry 2D), filmed the notorious TRI-D Crown music videos, pranked other halls, wrestled, had Jamba Juice runs, ice blocking, attended a Black and White dinner (where whip cream became a face mask), and had our own personal salon and makeup artist.

Amongst the fun we always found time to sit down one on one and talk about the details of our day and lives. One of the best weekends we had was when we went to the mountains to see the snow, the beach to see the waves and Hollywood to see the stars. We wanted to experience Socal at its finest. We never realized that enrolling into CBU meant making life long friends.

Sophomore year we spread our wings and said goodbye to the cramped, fruit filled hall of 3D and said hello to our two bedrooms, one bath apartment. It was here that we struggled to stay close. Living in the apartments meant splitting up and so we scattered ourselves from Lancer Arms to University Place Apartments. Two groups of us managed to become neighbors and continue the legacy. We began new traditions and continued old ones. We started where we left off, as if summer hadn’t passed. Five of us were in FOCUS and many in ISP. We used the time to make memories together and pour into the lives of other young women. We laughed together, TWIRPed it up, went on many Disneyland trips, supported a baptism, studied the Bible, threw a Halloween party, served at the Dream Center, got a full taste of Amy Grant, made more TRI-D Crown videos, went to the Price is Right, had apartment wars, many

sleep overs, built forts, watched 3D movies with 3D brothers, cried, lived together and ended the semester with a fun filled marshmallow fight.

A few of the girls decided to move back home and become commuters, and one girl left school to open up her own clothing store. We prayed, encouraged and kept each other accountable. We held each other as our worlds fell apart and sat silently when words would not comfort. There were many changes, but when a few got engaged we made sure to meet at the Fortuna Fountain for our traditional engagement dunk (good luck)! We even made a bet about who would marry last. Spending two years together taught us many lessons about each other and ourselves. We looked forward to junior year and the memories to come.

The summer of junior year brought struggles and eye opening experiences. Many of our 3Ders began a new chapter with marriage. Some came back to school having lost loved ones and others gained new additions to their families. We also said good-bye to one of our 3D brothers who left to become a missionary. With new perspectives and changed hearts we started a new year. We continued to be involved as we participated in FOCUS, Office of Spiritual Life, ASCBU and the Collinsworth School of Music.

Junior year meant upper classmen, but once again we found ourselves scattered throughout Lancer Arms, UP and the houses. This year we found ourselves growing up, struggling with upper division classes and the stress of future plans. There were more engagements and even a pregnancy (first 3D baby)! In the midst of stress and commitments we found time to decorate the apartment, buy a Zach Effron cardboard cut out, celebrate birthdays, hold a Murder Mystery party, go to the drive-in movies, discuss wedding and marriage plans, play Tetris and Mario Kart, participate in the Fortuna Bowl, go line dancing, hold a photoshoot, prank each other, recreate the Black and White Dinner, hang out with our 3D brothers, go on frozen yogurt runs, have inside jokes, and manage to learn the dance to “Its Gonna Be Me”! The year isn’t over and there are many memories to come.

Throughout the years we have realized how special and unique our bond is. During our first semester at CBU it became apparent that we were placed on the hall for a reason. We entered college each broken in our own way, not knowing it would take each other to heal the wounds from the past. This healing process has happened over time and with the strength of our friendships will continue. Living life together at CBU has surpassed anything we could have imagined. Whether you’ve heard about us or not we wanted to share our story of sisterhood because we recognize what God has done in and through it and we hope you will be encouraged by it as well.

what IS yoUrm

oStemBarraSSIng

momeNt?Kelly Goldowski“I was at the movie theater and my friend and I were going out the back exit right when the movie was finished, so there were all these steps. While I was walking down the steps, I thought there were more and I fell flat on my face in front of everyone.”

ReGina Rhue“I was walking on the pool deck and my friend pantsed me in front of the whole swim team and men’s water polo team!”

Erika Brown“One time I was walking into the computer lab and put my hand back to stop the door from slamming and accidentally touched this guy below-the-belt. We were both pretty embarrassed.”

Sarah Young“We were playing the ‘See food’ game, you know, where you like chew your food and then open your mouth and show the other person? Anyway, I did that and I leaned over the guy I was interested in to show my best friend and the food totally fell out of my mouth and into his lap! Oddly enough, he still liked me after that.”

Brock VanDyke“I kinda liked this girl in high school and I went to tell her a secret one day and burped right in her ear. I still to this day haven’t lived that one down.”

Jordan McDaniel“This one time I took this girl out on a date and I went in to kiss her for the first time, but we had just left like Chipotle or something and like I had to burp, so I silently burped but I had to let it out before I kissed her. The thing is that her face was like right next to mine so there was no way to let it out, so I like tried and then leaned in and she was all ‘Did you just burp? Cause it smells like vomit.’ Needless to say, I didn’t kiss her that night.”

Andrew Hochradel“So this one time I was dancing with this girl I liked and I totally punched her in the face and gave her a black eye.”

what IS them

oSt

Meghan Knechtel “The crocs, is that what they’re called? The weird sandal type shoes that you stick the beads in. I don’t get those.”

Erin Cummings“Bicycles. You know how everyone rides bicycles around, like going to the bike shops and fixing up their bikes. It’s like the ‘indie’ thing to do. That’s annoying to me.”

Lailani Kings“Do I know anything to say to that? Gosh… let me think… I don’t know. I’m relatively uncool and I have nothing to say to that.”

Breanne Wilson“Twilight. It’s annoying because it takes over my friends. For a good three days you won’t see someone because they will lock themselves in their room and read all 18 of them.”

Stephanie Grzeszczak“There’s just a lot of fashion things that bother me. It’s either the crocs with socks or neon tights.”

IF yoU were aSUperhero?Mariah Howell“It would be really cool to be Elasta-girl because she is so flexible.”

Alexx Lommori“I wanna be Violet, because I would like to be invisible and see what people really think of me.”

Hannah Heighes“I would be Superman because he has a lot of responsibility, but he handles it well. He would give up his own life just to save another, kinda like Jesus.”

Haley Helfer“I’d be the baby from The Incredibles, because he has all these powers and he doesn’t know how to use them yet. He doesn’t even know all the powers he has, so he might just have ALL the powers. That’s cool!”

Holly Gehrig“If I were a superhero, I would want to be Spiderman … Well, ‘spider-woman.’ I like that he is able to control his powers and realizes that with great power comes great responsibility. I also like that he is just an average person that has had great power thrust upon him. He still makes mistakes; he isn’t perfect, but he learns from his mistakes. Plus, he has the coolest suit!”

Valerie EstavilloTwilight: There was so much hype about the movie and I was expecting to see something amazing. I don’t think the movie did the book justice.

David NewmanPaul Blart: Mall Cop: How can a man support a family on that kind of budget?

Conrad BlackYes Man: It was weak sauce. I really expected more from Jim Carrey. Plus all the good parts (which were few and far between) were over-played in the previews.

Gabriel NewmanQuarantine: Sorry if you liked it, but to me the movie was so extremely irritating! It had some positives, but by the end of the movie you were so sick of the main character’s role; you just wished she would hurry up and die!

Barry ParkerWanted: Sounded like a good idea with good actors, but the plot became so ludicrous. Such as the part with hundreds of rats with little bombs attached to them, that made me feel like I was cheated out of 1 hour and 48 minutes of my life.
