Colorado

I will never forget the day that my parents told me we were moving to Colorado. I had a wide range of emotions towards this, I was both nervous and excited. I can explain it best as the moment before the fall on a roller coaster, the butterflies building up in your stomach as the bottom of the hill is not insight but the ride down is sure to be amazing. Much like roller coasters new experiences have no true end in sight but the journey along the way with all the twists and turns are sure to…

Issues in Agriculture Dr. Temple Grandin is one of the most accomplished and well-known adults with autism in the world and she has played a large part in improving the animal agriculture industry. She is an American professor of animal science at Colorado State University, world renowned autism spokesperson and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior (Hauser, 2010). She has influenced the lives of many people and has made many accomplishments that have influenced the animal…

December 24th. Present day. As MADISON KNIGHT contemplates Christmas in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, she’s dead broke, and eviction looms. Her only chance to pay her bills rests on the New Year’s bonus from Once Again Antiques—if she can hold onto her consulting job for that long. One more misstep, one more unsatisfied customer, and she’ll be looking for employment elsewhere. While working from home, she takes a call from ZACH MURDOCK, a local rancher. Through a mix-up, the antique store…

The last two weeks in July I went to Colorado. The first week was for family vacation and the second week my brother and I met with our church for a mission trip with an organization called Global Encounters. There were a lot of different churches and youth groups there. Every youth group was paired with another youth group and given a job that they set up every night. Some groups di clothing for the poo, some did soccer camps, and some did vacation bible school in parks. My group was paired…

God’s Word. Two would be because of the degree I’m pursuing, psychology. I want the background biblically based so that I will have a different perspective from other individuals in the field. That’s when I remembered what I had heard on K-Love, Colorado Christian University. Since going through the many trails and having the experiences that I’ve had, I am more mature and ready to complete my education. Now that I am enrolled and just starting my education with CCU, it brings me a lot of joy…

In a person’s life there are often experiences and life events that occur that truly mold and shape that individual’s life. Often times these experiences or occurrences help this person to either better themselves, or lead them into a direction they are meant to go. Though the ideal situation is to have pleasant events happen, sometimes even the most tragic events can be great eye openers. I can certainly attest to this statement. Four years ago my father passed away from pancreatic cancer, and…

degree. After Derek’s death, it made me realize that life can be very short. We do not get to decide when our life ends, only God decides that factor. 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…

Being opportunistic may simply mean finding the right legal instrument. Mexico’s lack of a clear policy regarding water re-allocation to the environment did not deter river advocates in the Colorado River delta, who saw an opportunity in the existing legal framework. Although no precedent exists for stopping irrigation to improve stream flows, moving water rights from one irrigated parcel to another is a well-established practice in Mexico.…

I take the car and into Colorado Springs, hoping someone there can explain all of this to me. However, as I get to the city centre, there is no one around. Slowly I make my way through every street in Colorado Springs, either by foot or car. Doors have been left open; car’s still running, and pets left to fend for themselves. Again there are no humans in sight. Something has gone wrong, very horribly wrong. Could it be because I travelled in time? Have we upset the space-time continuum that much…

Love is the Greatest The bible passage of 1 Corinthians 13:11 – 13 made me reflect on my personal and spiritual growth in my nursing journey with Colorado Christian University (CCU) as well as my nursing practice. I start my journey like a child and I am becoming a “woman” as my nursing school journey comes to an end. I admit my perspective about nursing as a service vocation has been strengthened over the course of time. The more I met different nurse preceptors during my clinical, the more…
