there's the one lusting after knowledge and always searching for more answers to fulfill his desire for meaning. spending countless hours researching, studying and striving for the ultimate goal of knowing more. there is another lusting after acceptance. she does all that is necessary to be known, to be seen and to be pulled into the crowd she usually gossips about. another is here for the opposite sex. lusting after lust itself. never satisfied always looking to conquer and finding this domain thick with prey who make the chase too easy.
there is something about this place, this campus which would scare me if i was under my own power. it is a brainwashing, compromising, tolerant attitude which will control any who let down their guard. what it is about this medium sized university that it has such an effect on those who walk through its doors regularly.
i praise the Lord for His victory and power as I tred the paths daily here in windsor. on my own strength none of this would be possible and maybe i would be one of only three downward spirals listed above.
this place needs hope, this place needs love and acceptance without compromise. this place needs healing of broken hearts, broken dreams and broken souls. this place needs freedom. this place needs Jesus.

"I appeal to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship." Romans 12:1
