A brand-new opening feature highlights alumni devotion writers, starting this month with Deb (Samuel) Wolf, ’70, who shares A Psalm Of Hope To Calm Your Stressful Heart.

I pray these stories are encouraging, informative, and inspire you to stay connected to each other, and to the wonderful things God is accomplishing here at our alma mater!
