...boss!) Finally, I asked for a customer-service number so I could lodge a complaint. That's when I found out how the airlines really feel about customer service: Delta no longer has such a number. An unhappy passenger's only recourse is to go to the website and write an e-mail...

...should look beyond categories so narrowly defined and provide all students with the opportunity to stay on campus and be productive. An obvious start would be to allow all thesis writers—with or without a compelling research need—to stay on campus in order to write and research without the distractions that forcing them to be at home may entail. The College should generally take a more accommodating stance in their review of submitted applications and provide students with more options. We agree that it is important that students have a reason to stay on campus...

...write that often instead of following God's will, people try to compromise by doing some of what they think they're supposed to while still staying within a comfort zone. You know, God sent Abraham to Canaan, but Abraham didn't go to Canaan - he stopped 200 miles out, in Haran. And it just didn't work. Compromising with God never does. There are a lot of people living in Haran. They call themselves Christians and they probably are, but they haven't gone all the way. It took Abraham 40 years to get to the point where...
