ANNE GRAHAM LOTZ: Our hope is in God
By Anne Graham Lotz As I write this, we are in the midst of a busy election season. Every news cycle brings us information on the various candidates vying for local and state positions, plus the highest office in America. We are told what she said, what he said, and what they said.

His family was so poor that he did not have a bed in which to sleep until he was nine years old. Upon graduation from high school, he began the task of choosing a college. One of his neighbors had something called a college catalogue. Later he would recall, “I was amazed and believed you could order a college just as you ordered something from Sears. I’d never seen a college, had never been on a college campus, but I read it and it told all about Louisiana College at Pineville. I decided that’s where I would try to go.” The college had been established just fourteen years before in 1906. But how could he pay for tuition, books, housing, and food? He didn't have any money or know anyone that did, so he decided to try and get a job at the college. On his second day on campus he went to the college employment office and found a job in the soon to be named Hattie B. Strother Cafeteria. Hattie was the beloved dean of … [Read more...]
