A Christmas Revival

Jesus doesn't forget you each on every day, therefore, don't forget him on Christmas Day.

A Christmas Revival
Eboni Nash

Since I was a little girl, I had a vision of Christmas.

Boxes, presents, and the time family spent with us.

A large, jolly old man, clothed in red,

He would bring me presents while I slept in bed.

I remember Christmas being about the snow,

About the cookies, the milk, and the big red bow.

But as I got older, I started to wonder,

“Is Christmas more than the tree and what’s under?

It wasn’t until God took me by the hand,

He showed me the way and helped me understand.

Not 12 days of Christmas, but a savior’s birth,

A life for the sinners, God thought of us first.

Christmas is not about the gifts, and glam,

It is the Holiday spirit through the great I AM

The one who was sent when all hopes failed,

He preached and served, to the cross he was nailed.

Some claim hierarchy, the ultimate religion,

But in all churches, Jesus had risen.

Not beliefs nor war can separate the spirit,

Sing Hallelujah for all to hear it.

We find people who dress so proper and neat,

Who promise one day, they’ll stand at His feet.

But we forget the ones who have Him inside,

The ones who live and serve in His eyes.


For a person who claims Jesus by mouth,

Must be a man who serves Him in his house.
But there is a difference from those who just say,

Than those who kneel and every night pray.

Forget the mistakes, your past full of sin,

For Jesus was born, and with him you’ll win.

Claim not by your mouth, but your actions too,

It’s not what you say but exactly what you do.

We still have the gifts, the bows, and tradition,

But never forget the ultimate mission.

A baby was born, on a night like this,

In a stable topped with a virgin’s kiss.

So this holiday season, look past the face

And into the reason for a God full of Grace

Love without limits, praise with no fear,

A family with God is a family drawn near.


Have a blessed holiday and never forget the true meaning of Christmas. A Savior’s birth for OUR second chance.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
