One of the week's most memorable events is always the "Return to Modesty" discussion led by Todd Kappelman and Sue Bohlin. All the students gather in a smaller, more intimate format to talk about the need for both men and women to be modest in dress and behavior. It's always MAJOR fun when we open it up by saying, "Girls, is there anything you want to say or ask the guys? And guys, is there anything you'd like to say to or ask the girls?" It's a most lively discussion! |
Because so many of the students didn't know each other at the beginning of the week and won't see each other after this week, they have a lot of freedom to speak their minds in the modesty discussion. The guys shared what constitutes immodest dress for girls: tight clothes, skin showing, anything that draws attention to one's rear end (such as words printed there). The girls shared that they are really bothered by the immodest behavior of making sexual jokes or weaving sexual innuendo into conversation. Oh, and sagging britches. <smile> |

Ray Bohlin taught the new students after dinner on "The Inevitable Quagmire of Human Genetic Engineering." Even the non-science-lovers, feeling like they can't get many of the details Ray is speaking about, can worship the God who put all those details together and is such an incredibly brilliant Creator God! Other sessions today were Sue Bohlin's "The Value of Suffering," Ray's "Christian Views of Science and Earth History," and an alumni session by Michael Gleghorn on "Meaning and Purpose." |
