A Letter from Jonathan S. Raymond

posted by Meray Youssef

Dear Mars’ Hill Reader,   It is my delight to be invited to write a letter for the last issue of the year for Mars’ Hill. I write to celebrate a wonderful year for the university, a year full of outstanding events and achievements by students, faculty, staff, and alumni. You need only go to twu.ca News to read story after story and begin to appreciate the spirit that infuses the university’s fiftieth anniversary year as Canada’s most remarkable university.  No matter where you turn, you find great stories of success, innovation, and initiative.  Most of the stories are about our wonderful...

Summer 2012 movie preview

posted by Mathew Braun

Does Transformers 4: Battleship (May 18th) float your boat? Are you thirsting for the adaptation/remake of the 60’s soap Dark Shadows (May 11th), also known as Tim Burton: The Movie? The summer movie season begins in just a few short weeks and that means endless sequels (Men in Black III – May 25th), remakes (Total Recall – August 3rd), and adaptations (Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter – June 22nd).

The walls of the darkroom are packed. Shelves line the north wall, filled. Folders containing negatives and contact sheets, boxes containing prints, all of them marked by date and job description. Familiar names catch my attention: Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell, Allen Toussaint, Tim O’Brien, and...

Liberal Arts

posted by Michael Biornstad

I have been encouraged by the ringing dialogue since my article, Learning How to Think, was published two issues past. Both students and alumni have responded publicly and personally; apparently I am not playing a violin alone in the woods. I now intend, perhaps desperately, to cram one more word into the small void remaining in a communal consciousness already stuffed with papers and final exams. Considering our mutual mental exhaustion, I will forego flowery rhetoric to submit the point of this article in the most modest prose: if Trinity Western University is to call herself a liberal-arts university, her policy—at the very least her...

Spring Procrastination Guide

Exams are upon us and if you’re anything like me, the last thing you want to do is anything. I mean seriously… I don’t even want to write this article. I’ve been putting it off all afternoon. There are so many other things to do, like watch an hour of NHL playoff highlights. So, in the spirit of the season, here’s a handy guide to prevent you from getting anything done over the next week....

Why should the devil have all the good music?

posted by Mathew Braun

Growing up in a Christian family at a Christian school in a large Christian community, I was exposed to religious music at an early age. The first concert I ever attended was Michael W. Smith at the Pacific National Exhibition forum. The second was Newsboys at the same venue when I was nine years old. The Supertones, MXPX, Ghoti Hook, and Audio Adrenaline were all part of my formative years as a young boy moving towards teenagedom....

posted by Mathew Braun

About a year ago I came across a graphic online that read, “To live a creative life, we must loose our fear of being wrong.” I found out later that the quotation (attributed to Joseph Pearce) was actually a misspelling of the original, which stated we must “lose” this fear. While I...
