I was tired of being a dependable, work-your-way-through-school, practice-the-piano teenager. I decided I wanted to be a street fighter. It was a new thought and a foolish thought, given I had zero experience in the street. But, I started paying attention when some of the other big guys would pick a fight and brawl on the ball field at Greater Miami Academy. I practiced shadow fighting in front of the mirror at home. The 130-pound guy in the mirror wasn’t in the least formidable; nevertheless, I had made my decision. I would no longer be virtuoso pianist and class pastor. I would become a street fighter. I saw a workout set of springs advertised that claimed, if I would stretch those springs faithfully every day, I would become muscular and strong. It was false advertising, but I felled for it. I ordered the set and began my training to become a street fighter. Finally I was ready for my debut, and on the way home from school, at the bus stop on Flagler Street, waiting for the 57th Avenue bus, I picked a fight with the weakest guy in my class. John was a little taller, but I figured he weighed Gordon Retzer in about the same.

  • Fall 2007 Opening Comments
    The Magazine of Southern Adventist University COLUMNS Fall 2007 Opening Comments Dinosaur Mom wasn’t exactly excited when my son, Dakota, first developed a passion Ifor dinosaurs. I had grown up believing that these massive beasts had been created by the devil, and I wanted nothing to do with them. But when Dakota saw Discovery Channel’s Walking With Dinosaurs, everything changed. Before I knew it, my then 3-year-old son was pronouncing the complicated names of dozens of prehistoric creatures and explaining to anyone who would listen the diet, bone structure, and unique traits of each one. Now, one of the things I promised myself when I embarked on motherhood is that I wouldn’t reject any of my children’s interests without first fully understanding it. Moreover, a family mission statement that my husband and I had put together when Dakota was young reminded us daily to encourage our children’s exploration of their interests. Having seen many young people develop an interest during childhood that has turned into a lifelong passion, bringing fulfillment as they incorporate that passion into career and service (see “Jessica Marlier’s Good Race” on page 22), I knew that if God was calling Dakota to be a paleontologist, I didn’t want to get in the way. “Maybe this is a good thing,” I said to my husband. “I’m sure God could do great things with a creation-believing paleontologist.” With that statement, I began a journey that would take many twists and turns as I sought answers to my questions about dinosaurs.

ABSTRACT A MULTI-FACETED PROGRAM TO RECRUIT AND DEVELOP AFRICAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST WRITERS by Enock Okari Omosa Adviser: Nancy J. Vyhmeister ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: A MULTI-FACETED PROGRAM TO RECRUIT AND DEVELOP AFRICAN SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST WRITERS Name of researcher: Enock Okari Omosa Name and degree of faculty adviser: Nancy J, Vyhmeister, Ed. D. Date completed: August 1999 Problem Although the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA) in Kenya has about 500,000 believers, most of the literature read and used by its members was originally written by Christians from the West. This study identifies some of the problems caused by the lack of African Adventist writers producing acceptable African Adventist literature for Adventist members and other Africans in Kenya, and points the way toward positive measures to remedy the situation.

  • Each One Reach One SOUTHERN UNION Vantage Point a Legacy of Good News
    February 2009 SOUTHERN 0 IICINGS Each One Reach One SOUTHERN UNION Vantage Point A Legacy of Good News My grandfather homesteaded on some land in North Dakota and built a house for his family of nine children, early in the 1900's. He attended a Seventh-day Adventist camp meeting one year and obtained a book on education by Ellen White. It was one of the first of her books translated into German. He read in the book that "parents should realize that it is no longer safe to send [their children] to the public school, and should endeavor to send them to schools where they will obtain an education based on a scriptural foundation" Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students, p. 205. The two oldest children were already attending a local public school, but my grandfather took Ellen White's counsel to heart and determined that his children would be educated in a Christian school. That presented a problem, because the land he had homesteaded and where he had built his home was nine miles from the church, and that was too far to travel in the North Dakota snow to go to school. He and my grandmother, determined to have a Christian education for their children, hitched up a wagon and looked for property closer to the church. They found no homesteading opportunities close to the church, but they found some land and pur- chased it, just one mile from the church. Next, they had to figure out how to move their new house to that land. My grandfather obtained two large steam engines that were used for harvesting, and, with help, he jacked up the house, put it on skids, and dragged it to the new piece of property.

He is best known for his discovery of hundreds of valuable uses for the peanut and sweet potato. I read that in 1921, Dr. Carver was invited to testify before the United States Senate Ways and Means Commit- tee on the possibilities of the peanut. Though initially given 10 minutes to speak, he so captivated the committee that the chairman gave him unlimited time, and Carver spoke for one hour and 45 minutes. At the conclusion of his presentation, he was asked, “Dr. Carver, how did you learn all these things?” Carver replied, “From an old Book.” “What book?” the Senator continued. The famed scientist replied, “The Bible.” “Does the Bible teach about peanuts?” The surprised Senator inquired. “No, Sir,” Dr. Carver replied, “but it tells about the God Who made the peanut. I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did.” I believe every friend of God should read some portion of Scripture every day. No matter how many times we’ve read the Bible, it is still fresh for each day and still applicable for each person and circumstance. We all have different ways of studying Gordon Retzer Scripture and learning from Scripture.
