July I was on vacation much of the month. I was blessed to make a long weekend trip to Dallas to see my sister (yay!).

Myself with my friend at the Grand Canyon. Photo taken by my professional photographer friend, David Irvine, whom we met at the Canyon.

I enjoyed one long hike with a friend and then had a week-long visit from an old friend. It was fun showing off the Grand Canyon with my friend from growing up years. As you can see from the photo of the hike, God sent the rains at last and our fire danger is low again. What a beautiful time of year!

This past Saturday I hosted a block party at my house with the help of my faithful home fellowship group from church. Now it’s time to get back to work to prepare for a new semester!

Thank you for your support that makes these activities possible!
Please pray for staff retreats (Administrative Team tomorrow through Thursday, President’s Cabinet the 12th and all staff the 13th through the 15th). Pray we would grow closer to Jesus and each other, would attain greater unity, and be renewed in our commitment to start a new semester.
Pray for housing for what may turn out to be the largest freshman class ever!
Pray for a blessed start to the semester with New Student Orientation starting the 26th and regular classes on the 31st.
Gratefully,
Martha
