When I was younger, I read a lot of pioneer novels. I grew up on Sarah Plain and Tall and stories by Laura Ingalls Wilder. One of my favourite parts of these stories was their descriptions of winter.

On Sunday, September 26th, Student Senate held what was supposed to be a four-hour meeting. It turned into an eight-hour meeting that caused all the Senators not only to give up their entire day of rest but also to miss evening worship.

Redeemer’s dedication to on-campus living was challenged this fall as an unanticipated increase in enrollment, particularly among first-years, made it necessary for administration to develop creative ways to house the many students wishing to live on campus.

The radio was cranked the loudest it’s been in months and I was enjoying the warm sunlight through the bent sunglasses I had dug out of the side door of my car.
