FROM THE EDITOR
The apocalypse is nigh,
really d
stress,
Not really but sometimes the end of the semester does feel
like the apocalypse. Deadlines, papers, projects, and stress,
5, stress. Well hey, take a load off if possible. Go get a cup of
Joe or something and just breathe. Try not to think about all the
Christmas shopping you still have to do.
Arid speaking of Christmas, the holidays are basically at our
doorstep (or dormst^, depending on your commuter status).
What are you doing for the holidays? 1 know what I'm doing:
stuffing my face with turkey and pie, sleeping in late, watcMng
old Disney movies, and generally being a big Jabba the Hutt. *
Looking back at that last statement of mine... have you ever'
foe ■ ■
noticed how blessed we are? We have stuff. We have food and
comfort. We can act like giant slugs when we really want to
and still have all our basic needs met, and then some. So let me
challenge you with this: pause at some point over the coming
break and think about all the blessings you have as you go into
this Holiday season. Be thankful for what God has granted you,
dt ’
and for how blessed you are to be at this school and to have shelter
and food. Pray for those less fortunate, those who are out in the
cold, himgry, or persecuted for their faith. Just take a moment to
reflect on wbat you're grateful for and why, and think about how
we can share our bounty with those who need it.
Oh yeah, and on a more Whetstone-related note, don't forget that you can also access this issue's
articles and more ordine at www.mcwhetstone.com. We will be adding any articles we receive between
now and the "apocalypse," too, since there will not be a December issue this year.
The articles in here are great (at least in my biased opinion as Editor), so please, read all of them,
and then compliment the authors... or shake their hands.... or high-five them... or whatever.
Happy November, everyone!
