Pastor at Grace Baptist Church, Cedarville, Ohio Major: Pre-seminary Bible Position at the time: Co-editor (Spring 1976, 1976-77), Editor (1977-78) What is your favorite memory of your time at Cedarville?

Is there anything you didn’t do at Cedarville that you wish you had? If so, what is it? Two things come to mind. I didn’t study abroad, and now I see the advantages I missed. And, I didn’t take James Grier’s “Logic” class because it would have made my schedule “too crowded.” As everyone who took the class reported, it was one of the greatest learning experiences of their time here, and I missed it because I wanted a lighter load. Dr. Grier became a mentor to me in college, but I always regretted never having that class from him, because he was such a powerful thinker. What word of advice would you give to current Cedarville students? As one who has claimed the “spiritual gift” of sarcasm, I can appreciate pointed humor and jabs at sacred cows. But I’ve learned that cynicism is the often unintended result of continually barbed humor, and it is deadly to the soul. My advice – guard your heart from a cynical spirit, because otherwise you will close yourself off to the beauty of seeing God transform broken, ugly souls – beginning with your own! How did your experience with Cedars help you grow professionally or personally? Having served as an editor, I became one – constantly working on words in writing and for speaking to say what needed to be said most clearly and precisely. Factual accuracy in the news, as well as finding the most compelling and persuasive words in editorials, has become a part of my sermon preparation and my writing for public consumption.
