have also met nurses who have zero desire to have a relationship with the lord and are some of the most amazing nurses I have worked with because of their compassion. I personally think Colorado Christian has taught me most of all acceptance of all people and judgement of none. With that I don't think I chose Colorado Christian on my own, I think it was chosen for me. I was lead down a path toward this university for a reason.
