Steve Noblett update
Dear Friends of Steve, I want to share an important update regarding my Dad. Today, he begins two weeks of highly focused radiation treatments called SRS (Stereotactic Radiation Surgery). Dr. Vanderwalde at West Cancer Center here in Memphis is overseeing this process and is very hopeful that the radiation will kill the tumor.

So bottom line, it is your education, and it should be handled in a way you feel is appropriate. If you are uncomfortable with material, you have the right in our student handbook to learn it in a way that is consistent with...
Read MoreSummer reading idea
The Med Center group chose to discuss the theological concepts in Wm. Paul Young’s book “The Shack” last year in their weekly Bible study, but it took Susan and I until July to catch up with them. It seems that we’re latecomers to this New York Times bestseller, which now has over 7 million copies in print. If you haven’t already, pick up a copy from a fellow student or get one online and read it this summer, sort through the issues and feelings it raises, then consider passing it on to someone else who might appreciate it. You’ll find the time...
