As you drive in to the Surprise Valley community of Eagleville California from the south one of the first things you see is the Eagleville Community Church. The beautiful old structure was built in 1887 and has obviously been lovingly cared for. I thought it looked wonderful in mid-morning light as I rolled into this quiet little community on a June morning.

Surprise Valley is about as remote as one can get in the state of California, save maybe the depths of the Mohave Desert or Death Valley. I must admit being somewhat remiss in living only a couple hours from the area and not spending nearly enough time there. This is something I hope to fix before too long.

Autumn Reflection by F Delventhal

Whenever the changes of the last year feel overwhelming, remember that some things are eternal. The sun still shines. The plants and fungi still grow. Water still flows. Nature still heals.

Doubling Down on Double Standards: Addressing the LGBTQ+ Community at Cedarville

Disclaimer: I am not member of the LGBTQ+ community, so my writing does not reflect the perspective of that community. My writing instead re

Cedarville students and alumni have created an underground and anonymous newspaper, The Cedarville Interpreter, to point out the hypocrisy at their school. Nothing like this could exist at BJU. It just couldn't, so it's an unusual thing to read.

And two days before the REAP lawsuit was filed, the Interpreter addressed the LGBTQ+ community at Cedarville. It could apply to the same community at BJU:

There is a large LGBTQ community at Cedarville much to the university’s chagrin. If you need proof, just take a look at “Cedarville Out,” which operates as a way for Cedarville students to out themselves in a safe environment. Unfortunately, the LGBTQ community is still woefully underrepresented in every aspect of campus life because these individuals feel that their voices are suppressed by the university and their opinions are not tolerated or accepted.
