John 6-10 Jesus tells Peter he must allow Jesus to wash his feet to be clean. Then Jesus tells Peter that not all of them are clean. Jesus was referring to Judas who betrayed Jesus. Judas took a part in the ministry. Matthew 10:1-4 Jesus gave his twelve disciples the authority over unclean spirits and to heal. Judas was given these abilities as well. All that time spent with Jesus and somehow Judas does not get cleansed and eventually betrays Jesus. What happened?

It Was a Good Day

Body
It was a good day at the university. At the start of the day, the masked pro-Palestine student protesters were on bent knees, chalking their requests for a ceasefire on the ground. A military Humvee was parked next to the entrance of the student center, as the Pentagon had come recruiting that day. The university police were already slowly pulling through the parking lot.

The Power of Community: How Independence helped me through cancer

Body
Everyone’s 21st birthday celebrations can vary widely. For some, it might involve enjoying their first (legally purchased) drink with friends, unwrapping gifts and gathering with family. However, my 21st birthday took a unique turn. On June 4, 2019, I received a cancer diagnosis. When I received my diagnosis, I was on my lunch break at Banana Republic in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Unsure of what to do next, I went back to work, but the gravity of the news didn’t hit me until later that evening, when I found myself in bed, overwhelmed by fear. The following morning, I woke up hoping it had all been a terrible dream, but reality set in when I checked my phone and saw that my parents and brother had arranged a flight home for me to attend my first medical appointments. The year ahead would be challenging, with its fair share of lows, but it would also bring valuable life lessons and lead to a few pivotal decisions that would alter the course of my life.
