Time to Shine!?!

Let God Shine!

Time to Shine!?!
Alicia Sansone

Sunday Was Easter! Everyone has a different outlook on it. The one thing most of us have in common is when our families gather together! Some go to the park for an Easter egg hunt, or have a family dinner, or maybe go to church. For me and my family we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! I know most people including myself have overlooked the true meaning of Easter! Not everything is about the items we get each other. No, it's about the thought we put into it and the way we express our feelings! Most importantly to praise our Lord for everything he has given us and done for us!



It's hard sometimes to be grateful for the bad things but the fact is, if we aren't grateful, then how will the bad things ever turn into something good? You can always have a rude comment in your head, but it's your choice to say it. Our car could break down on us, but we have the money in a fund, (for something more important). Why get so mad over that when it's replaceable? Words can be altered. So can our feelings. I have found out first hand that the bad things I say or even think changed my whole outlook on life. Why not try and make our thoughts pleasant? What's the harm? All it will do is make you feel so much better!



God Saved my soul, saved me from this world and gave me eternal life with him! One day I will be seated with him at his table! I can't thank him enough for his sacrifice! And that is the real meaning of Easter, showing God the glory!



Happy Easter Everyone!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
