This is a guest post by Marshall Jones Jr.
Someone (I wish I remember who) once told me that the benefit of attending Harvard isn’t the education – it’s the connections made. He meant that the friends made while attending the university are more important than the actual lectures and exams and diplomas. I agree. 

Think about it: anyone brilliant enough (or rich enough, but let’s assume the best) to get into a school like Harvard will probably be successful, assuming a loose definition of “success” here. Harvard just puts its stamp of approval on up and coming geniuses. So if everyone attending is already brilliant, what’s the benefit of attending? 

Friendships. 

I graduated from college last year. I’m only 20, though, so I still feel college-ish. But one lesson I’ve learned since graduating is the value of the friendships I made. 

  • The day I walked across the stage, my Biology 101 exam questions no longer mattered, though the night before the exam I traded sleep for memorizing, “Kingdom / Phylum / Class / Order / Family / Genus / Species.”
  • A month after walking, my GPA no longer mattered – potential employers rarely ask about it, especially since I graduated early.
  • Half a year after graduating, I have a couple pieces of paper that amount to a hearty recommendation from a decent school in the middle of the United States. I’m not convinced they matter either.

But the friendships from college still matter… and they’re still very much alive. 

I was a good student in college. That means I procrastinated Continue reading The extraordinary opportunity for college friending…

Today we celebrate a holiday named after a man who fought against injustice.  I am grateful for what MLK Jr. did to help bring about equality for the black race.  We have made much progress over the past few several years, but there is still more to be done.  Let’s pray that God will heal the hearts of those affected by racial prejudice.

Lyrics

I’m lost at the end of my rope
And I’m burning, I’m yearning
I’m hurting for hope

I’m needing this burden to go
But I’m searching for
Purpose, I’m searching to know

It knocks me down to the floor
Till I’m pounding the ground
And I’m down in my hole

It’s got me down till I go
Till I cry out to you I
Can’t take it no more

You are the one that I hold
You are the one in my soul
You are the one that I know
That will come when I call
And I fall and I fold let’s go
Cmon

I’m at the end of my rope and
I can’t take it no more
I think I’m losing control
I am about to let go

I am….

So you said to let go
Let everything I had hold
Let go till its all in control
Let go till its gone up in smoke

Crush me mold me make me
Stretch me fold me change me
Until I ain’t just the same me
You the only one my safety
You are the one gonna saved me
And I don’t wanna ever live safely
Destroy my world and take me
Past the end of my rope break me

Are you at the end of your rope?
