The light aqua, pistachio, seafoam green story of Jesus

The light aqua, pistachio, seafoam green story of Jesus

Can we ever really get enough Jesus?

There have been many over the years that have told me that we put too much Jesus in this newspaper. I have been told that we should stick to the news and covering our local high schools. There has been a lot of thought directed towards that subject. Some call me simplistic. Maybe I am. But, here is what I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

There is a story in this issue about Stephanie Studdard. If you don’t know her, Stephanie was a top-class distance runner, before. She was an athlete extraordinaire, before.  Then came the day that forever changed her life, and she is today not the young lady that she was, before.

A single moment in time changed everything.

Every day since, she and her family have dealt with that moment in time that changed everything from before it. Stephanie went from a top-class athlete, to a young woman fighting to live. She did not die, she did not let the surgeries and physical therapy defeat her, and she didn’t give up. She went from being someone who may have never walked again, to a high school senior that is again out on a court playing sports for her Lady Bears.
