Earlier today, Dr. Manahan spoke at Convocation on the paralells between the world we currently live and those written in Isaiah 6:1-8. Dr. Manahan illustrated his point through some photographs from the terrorist attack seven years ago today in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Pittsburgh, Pa.
I was working at the time in Pittsburgh and vividly remember the day when airliners hit the Twin Towers in New York and at the Pentagon. The plane that landed less than one hour from my suburban Pittsburgh office caused the most fear among us because we considered evacuating the campus since the plane was in "Pittsburgh airspace."
But today, Dr. Manahan used the historical events from seven years ago to frame a talk about change and how Grace College students must seek knowledge from classes, but not at the detriment of missing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Such a relationship will result in the ultimate change in our lives.
How will your life be changed by attending Grace College? How has your life changed since 9-11?
Let me know by posting a comment to this blog.
So, for my first convocation as a Grace administrator, I found the hour meeting quite memorable, emotional and convicting.
