I am so sad. Or, I was so sad. I cried everything out to God, and now I feel much better. Apparently, Drs. Noe, Culberson, Stacey, and Root have all resigned their teaching positions at PHC, effective the end of the semester. This means that the PHC Government major, formerly the school cornerstone, will be without professors. Dr. Sanders, acting Dean of Academic Affairs, has assured the student VP that they are confident they will be able to fill these positions before August. They probably can. But even so, this will mean change. I loved each of the professors who are leaving, at least in an agape (ah-GAWP-ay - it's Greek, meaning brotherly/sisterly love) sort of way. I respected them very much. It's hard for me to imagine PHC without them.
As soon as I heard the news yesterday, my prayer has been that this will cause my college to grow more than ever before. I pray that we will come together. The Lit and History majors have experienced difficulties from the start, after all. The only thing that has changed is that the Government majors are now the ones mostly affected.
I trust that God will use this event in ways we can't imagine at this time. I trust that great good will come out of it. He will not ever abandon us.
