4. From childhood, Joan Marshman had a natural awareness of spiritual concepts, and she utilized those concepts as a wife, mother, musician, and community leader in the service of her family and others.

Read Joan's article "Why I Choose the Medicine of Spirit." Page 55.
5. After an international student on campus experienced a tragic loss, Teddy Crecelius broke out of his "study bubble" and joined others in prayerful support of a college friend.
