A Prayer for Freed-Hardeman University
Chris Elrod

I have been a student at Freed-Hardeman University now for almost a complete semester, and it is absolutely wonderful! FHU has met all of my expectations and exceeded several as well! But, there is a great concern that we the students of Freed-Hardeman University should have. Freed-Hardeman—a place we love and cherish, a place where we develop deep friendships, a place where we grow spiritually, the place where we have made some of our favorite memories—is at another critical moment in it’s history. It is time to select a new president.

Currently, the Board of Directors is facing the difficult decision of deciding who will be the new president of FHU. While the Board of Directors has the power to decide who our next president will be, the student body has the power of prayer. We must assist the Board of Directors in this difficult process by praying for them. The decision that they make will impact us, the current students, and also the students that will attend FHU in the future.

I encourage us all to pray for the Board of Directors as this decision is on their shoulders. This is a difficult decision and one that they will not take lightly. Pray that God might grant them wisdom so that they will choose a president who will work for the future of the FHU and will work for the students. The students want a president that we can build relationships with; one who will approach us and be friendly with us. We want to have a president who is seen on the campus during the day. Please pray that our next president will be able to handle the pressure of running the University and will also build relationships with students. Pray that our next president will be one that the faculty and students can respect. Pray for our future president.

As you pray for our future president give thanks to God for the presidents of the past. Give thanks for all those who have worked to bring us to where we are today. Give thanks for those people who have served as president and have created this University that we love.

Pray for Freed! Pray for the university we love!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
