But, for me, this is the most challenging and surprising element of a summer ministry opportunity: DOWN TIME    Much of my job as an intern is to do whatever needs to be done....

What do I mean by loving ourselves properly? I mean, first of all, desiring to live, accepting life as a very great gift and a great good, not because of what it gives us, but because of what it enables us to give to others....

Recollections of such summers almost make me wish I were still in high school, especially when the beginning of my “summer break” so far looks a bit more like the list above, and I’ve decided to settle for gazing out the window during summer classes instead of sinking my toes in the sand.... Wed, 4 May 2011 00:00:00 EST 1240 Life http://judson.edu/blogs/bethany/index.asp?action=ind&pub_id=1221 I have always heard that the best writers of the past and present are night owls. I’m usually in bed every night by 10 or 11, but now at 12:45am I just can’t seem to fall asleep. I don’t know if my body is entering some sort of automatic “end of the semester setting,” or maybe I just have too much on my mind, or maybe I’m finally joining the ranks of all those famous “after midnight” authors we find in our literature books (Ha! Yeah, right!) Whatever the cause may be, my mind has taken me back to a random encounter with an old man I had in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, about three weeks ago.... Tue, 19 Apr 2011 00:00:00 EST 1221 Community http://judson.edu/blogs/bethany/index.asp?action=ind&pub_id=1206 Life is CRAZY!   The end of the semester at Judson always, always, always sneaks up on me. No matter how much I plan, schedule, and work to get ahead…the last six weeks of school finds a way to leave me with a pile of papers to write, lesson plans to tweak, and assignments to turn in....

Wed, 9 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EST 1201 Life http://judson.edu/blogs/bethany/index.asp?action=ind&pub_id=1187 Coming to Judson has given me the opportunity to meet quite the assortment of characters.   I’ve been here for three and a half years now, but I am still always surprised when I meet someone who was not raised by country folks. It startles me to know that there are people in this world who don’t fix the sink when it leaks, walk barefoot in the spring, play the guitar when they’re sad, and enjoy the satisfaction of home-grown tomatoes....

And just like any old lady with a story to tell…this older Judson girl remembers it almost as if it were yesterday…   What is this memory, you’re wondering?   The college search   My college search wasn’t much of a search, actually, because I always knew that I wanted to come to Judson....

You’re given a fresh start, your room is a lot cleaner than it was during finals week or the previous semester, and you can wear the new clothes Santa brought you over Christmas break. Spring semester brings you four months closer to summer than you were during the fall, and it gives you a chance to hit the gym (free of cost to Judson students) after all the fudge and hot chocolate your grandmother insisted that you eat while home for the holidays.... Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:00:00 EST 1134 Life http://judson.edu/blogs/bethany/index.asp?action=ind&pub_id=1125 Twas the night before finals And all through the dorm Lights could be seen twinkling; this was far from the norm Textbooks were scattered all over the rooms In hopes that ideas for papers soon would abloom Judson girls were crouched over laptops, not warm in their beds But visions of sleep still danced in their heads My roommate with coffee, and I with my Redbull Had just been rekindled, and escaped from sleep’s lull Then out from the hallway, we heard such a noise! Whose are those deep voices, could it be boys! Out of the doorway, like Sandra Fowler we flew If only she were here, we’d know what to do There couldn’t be boys! Not at this all-girls’ school Any man to step foot on the premises must be a fool With ninja-like skills we snuck down the hall Pausing along the way, so he wouldn’t see us at all When, to our sleep-deprived eyes, what should appear? But the ghost of Christmas to Come, with information about our future careers! He held file after file showcasing lives to come Even I’ll admit, he had no system…the files were all random But he told us his name and asked us to wait Our study guides were still waiting, but this was our future, and we took the bait He flipped through his papers, so quickly they came All he had to do was call each of our names “Let’s see, here’s Bethany, and Holly Beth too! Audra, and Kezia…we’ve got the whole crew!” We were enthralled by his magic But the precious time we were losing still seemed most tragic Then as dry leaves before the hurricane fly The Christmas ghost threw the files up in to the sky And down to the floor the folders, they flew With bonus materials about what to study for finals too! And then, with jingling, we heard sounds of hope The Christmas ghost gave us advice on how to cope So we drew in our heads, we turned right around He opened his mouth, but without any sound He picked up his papers and put them away “But what about the advice,” we said, “We need you to stay!” He filled up our backpacks, for every exam, he gave us a book He didn’t need to speak; this was all that it took His eyes, they did sparkle, he looked so merry But we didn’t share his joy…finals are scary! He handed over the bags like a wonderful gift But the package was so heavy that we needed a lift The nice ghost carried the packages to our rooms Knowing that with the right materials we’d be studying soon So we got back to studying, with new motivation We set up our books and computers, and we each had a station With a wink of his eye, and a twist of his head This jolly man assured us we had nothing to dread We didn’t even speak for the rest of the night, but went straight to our work The Christmas ghost smiled, then left with a jerk He waved goodbye, and he wished us good luck And reminded us to keep studying, even if we get stuck But I heard him exclaim, as he drifted out of sight, "Happy Finals to all, and to all a good-night....

You learn responsibility, to a certain extent.              You learn how to ask good questions, real questions.      You also learn some good life skills, like how to keep your mouth shut so you won’t sound silly, and how to put your alarm clock on the other side of the room so you actually get out of bed when it sounds each morning....

It’s amazing how this small college has become like home for me in just one short academic year. I just began my sophomore year here at Judson, and I’m already excited about what this year has in store. It feels so strange to see how much I’ve grown since I started out as a freshman....
