WANT SOME GOOD NEWS!!!

GOOD NEWS FOR LIFE
Good News! the semester is ending and many of us have mixed feelings about the new
chapter in our lives. New questions are saturating our thinking process— what am I going to do this
summer; where will I intern; am I going to summer school and what type of career path will I choose
after graduation? These are just a few real questions that need real answers to them. We may not
know what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future. “God Almighty” who is the
Creator and Sustainer in all our lives. So my brothers and sisters, as the title of the song says, “Don’t
Worry, Be Happy.”
Now to those who may be leaving this place, it is your turn to open a new book in your
individual lives. The same author will pen the pages so that you may experience goodness and grace
that is patiently waiting for you, and wanting you to step out on faith to see where the Creator will lead
you. As you step out, share the new intellectual thoughts you have learned on the hill; exemplify the
knowledge and skills you have acquired while matriculating at PVAMU; and show your appreciation
for the encounters you will face on your new journey call life. Please remember those persons who
sacrificed their resources to make your dream come true, which is obtaining an education from an
“Institution of the First Class.”
Congratulations and May the Creator continue to bless your life.

Extreme Makeover
When was the last time you had an “Extreme Maker Over?” I am not talking about the outside shell of your body, but what I am talking about is your inner person. When was the last time you asked your Creator about how you are doing as a servant; better yet, when were you a servant without looking for something in return. Look into our Creator’s mirror and ask yourself have you pleased God with your life, deeds and actions. Hmm, I think that we all need to take some time out for an Extreme Make Over in our spiritual lives. It will refresh us, renew us and refuel us to make it until the end. Food for Thought

these things.
