I don't understand but I love it!!!

So the weather is beautiful outside, just cold. But no ice, rain or snow, and yet we still have a delay.

I was on my way to class, and this student stops me and tells me to go back to the dorm that we have a delay. Now I know you shouldn't always trust people when they tell you things like this, but I was tired and I say "SWEET!!!" So I came back to the dorm, and WOW there really is a delay.

Why? Who knows, maybe the faculty is just as tired as I am. Or it could be that every other school/college in Lynchburg has canceled school 2 days in a row and we got 1 delay. I think they just keep giving us delays to make up for the missed school.

Either way, I know the students have been praying, and I think there was a compromise!

What do you think?

In class today we were asked if Christ was able to sin or not. So now I am asking you:

Was Christ able to commit sin? Yes or no, and why do you answer the way you do?

Interesting week




Greetings from Liberty!!!

Well, as most of you already know it has been a very eventful week (with trying to help a girl decide life, and then the March for Life). So we will just jump right into this update.

There is no update on Trish since the last one given. Please continue to keep her in your prayers! We pray that she may choose life! Because of you and your connections, there are a ton of resources available for her. And now there are three families that are willing to take her baby in (if she so chooses). PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!! As soon as I get more info, I will send it to you all!

We had a big turnout this week for our dinner (15) students! We actually had two students that are/interested in the Church come this week, along with a few other new faces! We certainly are growing and the Spirit is moving!

Before our dinner on Wed. a group of us went to Holy Cross to adoration. It has been awhile since I have been to adoration, so I really enjoyed it!

On Thursday, we had a few students go to the March for Life! It was great to see so many young people there and on the side of LIFE!!! It is a shame that the media did such a horrible job at delivering this news.

On Friday another group of students and I went to Theology on Tap in Danville. It was really interesting and we got a lot out of Joe's talk (thank you Joe). We learned about the Lay person's vocation and their job in the church (it is probably the most important).

Other than that, I just did some homework and tried to catch up on some sleep.

PRAYER REQUESTS:

Trish and her unborn child.

Catholics at Liberty group.

Students struggling with faith.

My school work and studies (I just got a new academic advisor. Hopefully he doesn't tell me I have to do something else to do in order to graduate).

And finally, as always, there are pictures updated. Most are from the March for Life (where I ran into the Louisville crowd)! And the last one is of the Lynchburg College Catholic Campus Ministry tonight after their mass.


In Christ,
Chris Osgood

Update on prayer request!!!

Thank you all for the prayers!

Please keep praying for this girl who is wanting the abortion.

There really isn't much update from Cody, but we are still praying! I do want to thank you all for your prayers and support!

We have found out that she is still with her boyfriend and that her parent's don't know yet.

There are a number of you that through your connections have helped out tremendously! There are 2 families that are looking to adopt and are interested in this child!!!

We also have a number of people who have offered for her to stay with them and help her until the child is born!

A few counselors from Crisis Pregnancy Centers from all over the country are ready to talk with Cody and her about this.

And a number of people that have gone through abortion are ready to share their story with her.

Please keep praying! God is working here!!!

In Christ,
Chris Osgood

URGENT PRAYER (17 year old wants an abortion)

My friend Cody from back home just sent me a message saying that his friend is wanting to have an abortion. He is trying to help her through it, but the only alternative he knows to offer her is adoption.

Trish is two weeks away from turning 18 and she is two months pregnant. If you could send me any resources to send Cody, so that he can share them with her and help her through this. It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Please pray for Trish!!!

In Christ,
Chris Osgood

SNOW!!!

Well, there is good news and bad news for Lynchburg. There is snow on the ground! That means: Liberty still has classes because the roads are clear. But, more importantly it means, DON'T DRIVE!!! People down here are nuts!!!

The good news: SNOW!!!!!!!
