"SAFE"
Spring Break is just a week away and the university police are handing out these spring break "safety tips" to students passing by.
It's tempting to be cynical. The message is, "enjoy the American spring break party experience...just do it safely." It seems comparable to giving students a sheet of safety tips before they gather with a whole bunch of people to play with gasoline and lighters.
These safety tips seek to address the danger to student's bodies as they head to the beaches in Florida to party. What's missing is the "safety tips" for these students' hearts.
GK Chesterton said, "Meaninglessness does not come from being weary of pain. Meaninglessness comes from being weary of pleasure."
Please pray for Whitewater students- that they would experience the weariness that comes with seeking worldly pleasures. And pray that on the beach or back on campus, God would bring one of His people into their life to share where true meaning, purpose, and life can be found.
Thanks for praying!
