After college, I plan to join the Peace Corps and spend time volunteering in a developing country to better the living conditions and…

On Sunday June 12th, I attended the Oklahoma Community Orchestra Concert. This event took place at the Oklahoma Christian University Pavilion. The Concert started at 7:30pm and it was free for everyone.this was my first concert in a long time, since middle school.

The Oklahoma Board of Education has a requirement that every student take standardized tests at the end of each school year. These sets of tests are commonly called “EOI.” EOI stands for End of Instruction test that are supposed to determine the level of knowledge gain on the corresponding academic level on a yearly basis. Also the test is a means for the state to…

Mr. Houck, I am sure you have received a plethora of emails about the defensive issues surrounding the University of Oklahoma football team, however I think I may have solved the team’s issue; a man by the name of Alex Grinch. Mr. Grinch is currently the defensive coordinator for the Washington State Cougars, after taking over the job in 2015.

life have led me to Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU). The path for me to get to OBU was all part of God’s plan for my life. It all started at around the time I turned five and fell in love with sports. Ever since then my life has been centered around sports, whether it be baseball, basketball, football, or golf. If it involved competition then I was going to participate. When I was a kid my favorite sport was basketball, mainly because my grandfather played basketball at Oklahoma State…

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”. Paul focuses on different details of scripture and the importance of all of them.

Much of modern day Christianity is migrating from “rigorous Bible study” (Williams 705) to waiting for Sundays to come around to get their weekly fix.…
