At
first, the task of writing an entry for this seemed daunting. To this day, I
still struggle with the concept of God and even believing in God (scandalous, I
know). As I got to thinking, I found that this is not about discussing my
devotedness to everything God and Christian; it’s about finding the small
things on campus that bring me, and other students, peace of mind and
heart. Location is the first thing that came to mind. From on campus,
Rockhurst feels safe and secluded (for me at least). If you were dropped from
the sky onto campus, you would not know that you were in the middle of the
city. But, Rockhurst is a haven – safe and welcoming. That definitely brings me
peace. I then started to think about the people. Being a small college lends to
this, but everyone makes things personal. The people here take their time to
listen, understand, and help those around them, whether or not they are a
student; they genuinely care about others. I found this comforting as well. So
even though I am not the firmest of believers, I believe God can be found
everywhere at Rockhurst through the peace of mind and kindness this university
provides.
