I'm at a Christian university, so there are a few crazies here. Haha ring before spring! I've got a few friends who went/are going to Christian universities and that seems to be the motto...

Only religious school I attended was when i was a kid. Don't think I could stomach going to a university or college as such.

I went to a private Christian school K-8 and it was a really great school. However, I've had numerous friends go to private Christian colleges and based off of what I've heard, I have some mixed feelings towards such schools at best... I dunno, there's a certain sub-culture there with some pretty backwards priorities it seems. Then you got all the school politics that get mixed in with faith, particular rules/regulations that aren't necessarily biblical, mandatory Bible studies (thus missing the point IMO), etc. There's a lot of good that goes on, no doubt, but as with all things I guess, there's always going to be some not so good stuff too. Solid, how do you feel about your education, the social-political atmosphere there, and all that?

Just so you all know, I attend John Brown University and will graduate in May. ;D However, it's probably the best Christian school experience I've had. I spent my entire life in a Christian private school for elementary, junior high, and high school where it was difficult to make one's faith their own. The variety of beliefs here (inter-denominational rather than non-denominational) is vast and has helped me explore my own faith. The education is top-notch and has been kicking my butt all four years. School rules are purposely vague to create discussion, and there is a reasonable amount of chapels that we are required to attend. It's hardly a stereotypical Christian university, but it does have it's Christian subculture especially since it is located in the small, conservative town of Siloam Springs.
Overall, I love it here and will miss it once I graduate.

Ah that's good to hear! Sounds like a great school and that they have their heads on straight with proper priorities. Any plans for post-graduation life?
Oh, and I don't know why I hadn't "liked" Sardis yet on facebook, but I just did last night. Great stuff! When the heck are you gents going to release a proper album??? Or at least an EP?

I went to Cal Baptist University (in california) for 2 years before I transferred out and everyone was pretty much normal. Plus the classes and teachers were pretty much in line with other school I've attended as well. (side note: I've attended 3 diff universities. one very conservative, one very liberal, and one very advanced academically. surprisingly all three were very similar as far as course work with differences just in the depth to which each class was taken.)
In other news, I'm still with my gf of over a year. Got a promotion at my job. We just moved in together and got a duplex in San Jacinto, Ca. I finally have internet again. Good times.

Since my last post on these boards, I have gotten divorced and am now dating again.
It's been a long time since I've been on here. I don't even know if anyone ever comes here anymore.

Hello! Well, a few folks come on here every once in a while... Though it's certainly pretty quiet 'round these parts. Good to see a familiar face!
I'm sorry to hear of your divorce but hope things with this new fella work out! Are things pretty peaceful between you and the ex I hope?

Well, it's been over 3 years since the divorce, and the guy I'm dating now I've been dating for about 2.5 years, so yeah, it's going pretty well. My ex and I...well, we just kinda don't talk much. I keep tabs on him through certain contacts that I have, but the only reason I need that is to make sure he pays his child support. He's already waaay behind. He hasn't paid for almost a year now. He's only allowed supervised visits, due to his mental issues, but I'm not usually the one that supervises. His new wife is really nice, though, and I really like her. I feel really sorry for what he's going to put her through, cuz I've been there and it's not fun.
