Vacation Bible School Fun by Carla Vied
If you close your eyes and someone says “Vacation Bible School” what do you see and hear? Do you think of
a vacation in some exotic place, or maybe stories from the Bible told in really different ways, or does the word
“school” makes you think of classes? Cookies, Kool-aid, crafts, games, friends, fun and really cool music can
also remind you of Vacation Bible School. But why should you as a parent want your child to go to VBS? Let’
s think of some of the reasons.

Family Building Blocks by Jeff Hendrix
Charles and Dawn Milem always knew they wanted to build their family through the miracle of adoption.
Married in their late 30s, the couple was unsure if they would be able to have a biological child, so adoption
was an obvious choice. However, by the time the Milems had reached their fourth wedding anniversary. . .

Not Just a Game by Leslie Bray
As Christians, we understand [most of the time] that God does not promise a perfect life; instead He promises
His children nothing beyond what we can handle (I Corinthians 10:13), forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:28;
Acts 13:38, 26:18) and thankfully a home in heaven if we live according to His Word (Ephesians 2:6). What
more could we possibly ask for… right?

A Forgotten People by Karen Katchuk

Ursuline Sisters work to free and nurture women and children

“Act, move, believe, strive, hope, cry out to God with all your heart, for without doubt you will see marvelous
things, if you direct everything to the praise and glory of God and the good of others.

Thank You Mr. Nader by Leslie Bray
My family boarded the small 757 headed across the country to Eugene, Oregon. As I was preparing for this
long and potentially brutal day with a nine month old and little flexibility for time delays, my mind was racing
with the array of possibilities. . .

The Tamme Touch by Jeff Hendrix
Anyone vaguely familiar with UK football will immediately recognize the name Jacob Tamme. His consistent
play over 4 years, topped off by key plays in UK’s 2006 Music City Bowl victory over Clemson and the Wildcat’
s 2007 upset of #1 LSU, helped him become a cornerstone of the offense and step into the role of team
leader during his 2003-2007 tenure with the Cats.

Reflections by Cameron Mills
I have lived a blessed life. Got saved at seven. Had a happy childhood, a loving home. My parents are still
married. I had the opportunity to fulfill a dream of playing basketball at the University of Kentucky. When my
time at UK was done I was given hundreds and hundreds of invitations to share my faith beginning the full time
ministry which I felt called to at the age of twelve. Oh, I had struggles here and there, frustrations, had even
gone through times where I felt as though Satan was focusing on me. Life could be tough but I still considered
myself very blessed as there were more times of happiness and joy than hard times and sadness. God was
certainly good.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes by Jeff Hendrix
Like most men, Rusty Tichenor has little interest in scrapbooking. But on August 2, he was busy on the
campus of KWC with more than 40 women who were busy cutting and pasting all their favorite memories.
Although Rusty didn’t actually complete any scrapbooking, he was heavily involved in the planning of the First
Annual FCA Crop-a-thon. The crop-a- thon was a fundraiser for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a
sports ministry working with student athletes and coaches.

The Twin Spin by Kendra Hendrix
When we walked into the obstetrician’s office that July morning, we were worried that the pregnancy had
ended. Sickness had plagued me that summer, but it suddenly ended when I was about 11 weeks pregnant.
All signs of the pregnancy seemed to end at once. Because of this, I felt so nervous at my first doctor’s visit.
My head was spinning with anxiety and fear.
