True, there is too much hype around Valentine's Day...but then, its always good to say a sweet word to your friends, spouse, or parents. If you want to get creative this year, why not adopt any one of these international traditions:
Denmark: Exchange silly love poems.
Japan: Homemade chocolates are called hon-mei.
Scotland: “Valentines”are sent anonymously.
LeTourneau: roses are sold on campus.
How you can pray today: Please pray for all the parents and family that are traveling to Longview for Parent & Family Weekend. They are coming here to show their "valentine" a little love!

WOOOOHOOOO!
The temperature at LeTourneau has dropped about twenty degrees in the last couple of hours! We are supposed to hit a chili 31degrees tonight - which is beautifully crisp. The temperature should warm up for Parent & Family Weekend this Friday and Saturday...we have over 50 parents attending this year. We are so excited to meet them and tell them all about LeTourneau and what is going on! (For this reason, there will be no blog on Friday...sorry!)
The LeTourneau Experience: I spoke today at the LeTourneau Teacher Faculty Organization (TFO). It was daunting to stand in front of all those professors...I started speaking too fast, I think I said "um" too many times and I said a prayer of blessing for all the students that have to do presentations!
How You Can Pray Today: In my devotional this morning, I was reminded to pray for those who see God as one who only punishes...Pray for these individuals that they may see that while God is indeed just and holy, he is merciful and has provided a way for us to be reconciled to him.
Something fun: Today is our Randy's Birthday! (Randy is our Director of Foundation and Corporate Relations.) I will post a photo soon.
