Dorm Dining

On Tuesday, February 19 a few students in the Blair-Shannon dining hall stood up after eating dinner and was asked the question, "May I take your tray, please?" From looks varying from: surprised, confused, and cautious, many of them said, "Sure." And of those few, even fewer posed the question, "Why?" The answer is because, our Lord and Savior Jesus who is the Christ, called on us to show love to both God and our neighbor (even if that neighbor sleeps across the room from us). He went on to demonstrate that the best example of love is to serve others. On this Tuesday, February 19, three BSU members demonstrated love to their fellow students, by taking their plates, forks, and trash to the tray return area. This was done for about 20 minutes until obligations of homework & bible studies forced them to leave. However, before leaving, stopped to say a prayer over the students at the dining hall and expressed the hope that the 20 or so students whose trays were taken would be impacted in some way by this demonstration of love. The challenge is given to other Christian students, who eat on campus on Tuesdays between 5:30 - 6:30 PM, to join the three for a wonderful blessed time of food, service, and love.
