Colorado Plateau

Call it what you will. An artificial forest. A hide-and-seek campground. A scientific laboratory. Maybe even Owens Valley Long Wavelength Array. Exciting discoveries are taking place here in Owens Valley. A large array of radio telescopes, designed in the shape of trees, lay scattered across the desert floor, making it look just like a dry forest, artificially. Of course, it would be nice to play a game of hide-and-seek there, hiding between 288 distinct radio antennas under the warm sun.…

On the morning of December 26, 1996, in Boulder, Colorado life as the Ramsey family knew it would be changed forever (Ng 1). When Patsy Ramsey woke, she found a rather long letter lying on the bottom step of her staircase informing her that her six-year-old daughter, JonBenet, had been kidnapped (JonBenet Ramsey Biography 1). The JonBenet case had the media turned against the Ramsey family in a time of grief, when in reality because of the media's impact on the exposure of JonBenet´s pageants,…

There have been plenty of suspects, false confessions, and even conspiracy theories on what happened to this little girl. However, what I’m here to prove is that JonBenet Ramsey was killed by her own parents, and quite possibly her brother was even involved. The…

Ever since I could remember, my father would always play our Steinway piano in our living room. The sound would always flow through the walls. My father would let me sit on the bench with him and I would press the keys down. The excitement that rushed through me was uncontrollable. When I was seven I had the privilege to take piano lessons. I was not enthusiastic about practicing, but I stuck with it for nine years. After my lessons stopped I continued to pursue piano as a serious hobby. I have…

Belgium has thrived upon throughout their history. In order to keep the company culture in the new eastern brewery, the co-founders Jeff and Kim Lebesch should be sent to head the new branch. Because the culture and values are already entrenched in the Colorado brewery, the New Belgium culture would be more easily maintained there without the founders being present. Then the founders could personally oversee the implementation of the culture in the new…

However, we can choose to make the most of our life while we are here on this Earth. I am choosing Colorado Christian University, because I believe there is more to life than just going through the motions. I believe God has sent us here for a purpose. I want that Christian education, instead of a state education where I’m just going through the…

goal of mine until about two years ago. At that point in my life obtaining a degree fell to the wayside. However, after a series of events, I’m back on track to receive one and I’m thrilled about it. Now that I’ve started my educational career at Colorado Christian University, I have three other goals for myself while studying. Those goals are to maintain straight A’s, find ways to apply what I’m learning into my life at the present time, and to share with others what I’m learning as I go along.…

Scripture provides us with instruction to fulfill the “Great Commission.” As simple as the Gospel Truth is, there are many questions raised that challenge the importance and validity of the message. Pursuing the associates program in Biblical Studies at Colorado Christian University would provide a greater foundation of understanding how to approach these challenges in a loving, Christ-centered approach that I feel would ultimately help alleviate personal biases, removing me from the picture…
