Tage 'Eight, Ehe -S^thcia BACK PAGE You Know You're From North Carolina When... You have spray painted your girl friend’s name on an overpass. You consider a six-pack and a bug zapper “quality entertainment." Your lifetime goal is to own a fire works stand. When someone asks for your I.D. you show them your belt buckle. Your Junior and Senior Prom had a Day Care. The primary color of your car is bondo. The directions to your house in clude “turn off the paved road.” Your dog and your wallet are both on chains. Your kids go hungry tonight be cause you just “had to have” the Yosemite Sam mud flaps. You owe the taxidermist more than your annual income. Your wife's hairdo has been ruined by the ceiling fan. You see no need to stop at a “rest area” because you have an empty milk jug in the car. You have a rag for a gas cap. Your dog can’t watch you eat with out gagging. You have a Hefty bag taped to the passenger side window of your car. You barbecue “Spam” on the grill. You have had to scratch your sis ter’s name off of the message that says, “for a good time call .” Your brother-in-law is also your uncle. REDMAN chewing tobacco sends you a Christmas card. You bought a VCR so you could tape wrestling while you were at work. Your dad walks you to school be cause your both in the same grade. Your wife has a beer belly and you find it “attractive.” To Those In My Country cont. from page 5 good, and I may be able to convince everyone in the country to believe the same thing. But what if it is not true? If it is not true, no amount of desire or public consensus will change that. Further, everything that is built on top of the idea would eventually topple. We must plead guilty to this offense-that of perpetu ating certain ideas because they fit in with what we wanted rather than because they had a basis in truth. We have been dishonest with one another and ourselves. Let us put that behind us. Let it be known that the United You view the upcoming “family reunion” as a chance to meet girls. You prominently display the gift you bought at Graceland. Your house doesn’t have curtains, but your truck does. Your front porch falls in and kills more than 3 dogs. You call your boss “dude.” You consider your license “person alized” because your father made it. You were fired from a construction job because of your appearance. You need two more holes punched in your card that gets you a “freebie” at the “House of Tattoos.” Your dad encouraged you to quit school because Larry had an open ing on the lube rack. You need an estimate from your barber before you get a haircut. You started a petition in North Caro lina to put the dimmer switch back on the floorboard because you kept getting your foot caught in the steer ing wheel when you try to dim your headlights. States of America is a Nation of people who are lovers of Truth. 1 am a Christian be cause I believe that Christian ity is true, notbecause it seems like a good idea, or because it is a balm for whatever emo tional wounds I may have, but because I believe that it is true. Ifit is not true then 1 will cease to be a Christian. What do you believe? Do you believe it because it is what you have decided to believe or because you have found it to be true? A young man once approached So crates and asked him how he could find truth. Socrates led him to a river and after they had both entered it he grabbed theboy and held him under the water. When he could not survive any longer withou t air, Socrates released him. Socrates told the boy, "When you desire Truth, the way you just desired to have air, you will find it." May the desire for Truth be that strong with us. Howerton's "Calvin and Hobbes" Dance Saturday Nov. 16, Third Floor of BCC 8:30 to Midnight featuring: Live Performances, Avarit Garde Hour 'v. 1 ! ; ■> Around Campus by Naj Alicea Staff Writer Karen Cambell is a sophomore from Lawrenceville, GA., which is a medium-sized town twenty miles northeast of Atlanta. “Sounds dinky,” she says, “but it really isn’t.” Herparents live there along with her two younger brothers and an older sister, who is the motlier of Karen’s infamous niece and nephew, of whom she will talk about to anyone who will listen. This being her second year at Montreat, Karen has decided to major in English and History and is also getting a minor in Music. She plans to stay here all four years. While being here, Karen has be come very involved in several ex tracurricular activities. She is the sophomore representative to Honor Court, active with the SGA, coordi nator of a women’s ensemble on campus, and helps lead worship in Interact- a small off-shoot out of the Montreat Presbyterian Church and officiated by Darwin Glassford. When asked why she loved Montreat, Karen simply replied, “I love Montreat for its people.” She says that the people here are of good quality and character, she has more friends here than she ever dreamed possible. Karen can see the Lord working here in a mighty way. “This is where He has me and whatever contribution I can give I’ll do it. That’s what I’m here for.” After graduating from M-AC, Karen would like to go to graduate school- she’s not sure where yet, or what she’ll get a master’s degree in though. Once she is completely on her own she will be in the ministry. She would like to get into recording and touring as a contemporary Chris tian singer. She strongly believes that is where the Lord wants her, and it looks promising thus far.
