Lewis in &quot;The Problem of Pain&quot; says that God often uses the experiences of suffering as a megaphone to awaken us. Suffering and pain, Lewis said, are often the essential means by which God brings about dependence, fortitude, patience and forgiveness in His children, while also arousing acts of mercy and compassion. Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:11:00 CST http://www.bpnews.net/blog/article.asp?id=119 http://bpnews2.fivefish.net/blog/article.asp?id=118 For the Lord's most evident blessings and guidance for Union University this past week, we are most grateful. What an amazing week it was! The move-in process went extremely well. The Lord's presence was obvious at the worship service on Tuesday night (Feb. 19). Everyone has adjusted rather easily to the new class schedules on Wednesday and Thursday. We experienced a historic day on Friday with the groundbreaking service. The packed gymnasium on Thursday night with two wins over our friends from FHU was certainly a &quot;welcome back&quot; highlight.
