"One of the great gifts from Chi Alpha is that the impact transcends the different careers we enter into following college. What we have in common in the practice of following Jesus is powerful. And it is something I have realized cannot be taken for granted.

It has become so apparent to me that we must continue to live a faith that is visible and to learn from one another.

There is a glow that I often recognize when I step outside of what I call a "comfortable faith", and rubbing shoulders with others at the Alumni Gathering who are pursuing the same thing tends to that flame.

The truth is this: this ministry and these people changed my stinkin' life! It is up to me to tend to the flame."
