New Degree Offered
Gardner Webb College
will initiate an associate degree
program in interpreter training
next spring with a $59,490 grant
from the Kate B. Reynolds
Health Care Trust.
The program, which was ap
proved by the college’s faculty
and trustees during the 1983-83
academic year, will be the only
interpreter training program of
fered by a liberal arts college in
North Carolina.
According to G-W President
Craven Williams, the grant will
enable the college to expand its
existing deaf program to include
training for interpreters for the
hearing impaired along with the
support services it currently pro-
vides hearing impaired students.
This is the third program that
the Winston-Salem Foundation
has provided funds for at
Gardner-Webb. The Kate B.
Reynolds Health Care Trust
previously granted tunas tor tne
college’s program for the blind
and visually impaired and the
baccalaureate nursing program.
“Gardner-Webb College is
grateful to the trustees of the
Kate B. Reynolds Health Care
Trust for their generous expres
sions of support,” said Williams
of the grant. “They have enabled
us to realize important, distinc
tive educational programs.”
Through the interpreter train
ing program, students will
receive a combination of inter
preting theory and practice.
My Answer
BY DR. BILL GRAHAM
Dear Dr. Graham: I have been seeing this married man for
about a year, and I thought he really loved me and might
marry me. But now I find out he has been going out with
another woman behind my back and I feel like he has double-
crossed me. I'm so angry and hurt that I don't know if I will
ever trust another man again. Is there such a thing as true
love?-W.N.
Dear W.N.: Yes, there is such a thing as true love - but you won’t
find it by trying to marry someone who is already married. Right now
you feel very hurt because this man has apparently betrayed your love
- but did you ever think how his wife must feel? And did you ever
think about the fact that the kind of man who would sneak around
behind his first wife’s back would probably sneak around behind his
next wife’s back also? No, this kind of relationship will never give you
the stability and true love that you yearn for.
How can you find true love? First of all, the greatest truth 1 can tell
you is that there is someone who does love you completely and fully
-and that is God. Do you want to know what love is like? Look at
Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, who came down from Heaven to die on
the cross as a sacrifice for your sins. His love was completely without
selfishness, and he was willing to go to the cro,ss simply because he
loves you and he wants you to become his child. “This is how God
showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world
that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9).
How can you experience God’s love? You cannot earn it. You can
only receive it the .same way you would receive a gift someone offered
you - by accepting it. You can receive it by inviting God’s greatest gift,
Jesus Christ, to come into your life as your Savior and Lord. It is my
prayer you will do that now.
Then live for Christ each day. Seek his will for your life. If it is God’s
will for you to marry at some future date, trust him to guide you to the
man he has chosen for you - a man who loves Christ - so that together
you will honor Christ throughout your lives. Let Christ become the
foundation of your life today, because he alone will not fail you and
will give you a foundation for living that will last.
