"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). Each new school year is accompanied by its own changes, adventures and stresses. To predict the outcome at the beginning would be a difficult task and yet, at an established university with a mission like that of Harding, one year is pretty much like any other - the base is solid because its foundation is built on a Person who is "the same yesterday, today and forever." In spite of its sameness, however, each year realizes some change - new construction; new faces of faculty, staff and students; new programs; and curriculum changes. An older building is remodeled and construction begins on a new one. A class of seniors who graduated is replaced by a class of new freshmen from all around the United States and many other nations. Transfers enroll to replace the students who decided not to return. Faculty return from academic leave, and new ones join the ranks. New athletic fields allow more playing time and better competition. New courses better prepare students for pre-professional programs and careers. Just sing it!
