I really appreciated the insight the examples of young adult spirituality that they provide. These Advent and Lenten devotions by college students,faculty and staff, are one of the remaining precious connectors across the Canada/US border. For those of you with younger families, perhaps my down-loadable At-Home booklets can be received as a grateful exchange. www.mennonitechurch.ca/tiny/1418.

An added thought. In Christ we are all called to love one another. In that I wonder if we were examine the alleged "Differences" under the watchful eye of God, would their origin be from Him? And if not, need they be put aside or simply thrown away? I love to praise the Lord! An added thought. In Christ we are all called to love one another.

My spirit is enriched by each of these devotional writings and I continually think what a fine institution Goshen College must be to have the staff, faculty and student body that can express praise as today's writer has done. May God's gracious Spirit continue to shine upon and bless your institution. Leland C.
