FROM THE DIRECTORI was just thinking the other day about how amazing it is that we are already nearing the end of the first decade of the “new” millennium. When I was in high school I was pretty certain that Christ would return before I graduated. Then when I actually moved on into that next phase of my life called “College” I still held the imminence of His return, but less dogmatically and with more expectation that I had a life to live and be an influence for Him. It took the influence of professors and lots of exposure to lots of ideas from humanity’s past to steer me toward a path of looking for platforms of influence from which to share the gospel and the truth about the God I worship.
I appreciate all of you and your influence upon Bryan College students (two of which are my offspring) to steer them toward “making a difference in the world”. I seek to augment that influence by facilitating their exposure to the ideas from humanity’s past and present, both good and bad, laudable and despicable that will help them to see both humanity’s need of redemption as well as the shining lives of those who have lived out that redemption. When students show an interest (and even when they don’t) please remember to encourage them to dig deeper, to know more, to get more understanding of how others have and how they can find platforms of influence in their world through reading and otherwise engaging breadth and depth of their culture through the resources, activities, and services sponsored by the library. You can be a shallow person and seek information in a library, but you cannot remain so if you engage with much there for very long. |
