On Monday April 5, the Student Government Association welcomed Emily Eldridge to present the Gary Chapman request. Eldridge spoke to students about the power of an idea and how it can mobilize people to accomplish amazing things. She discussed topics from Harry Truman and the media, to the passing of environmental laws in the government all because of someone’s powerful ideas. Students were encouraged to always keep in mind, while working in government, what the American people care about. These suggestions and ideas can be used to help better the SGA of Lipscomb and the students that make up the student body. Other topics discussed at the meeting were the upcoming elections for the new executive officers of Lipscomb’s SGA, The Bachelor of Ugliness and Miss Lipscomb Nominations and the American Red Cross blood drive on campus. SGA is constantly striving to make the Lipscomb experience better. From influencing policy change like open-visitation, to fighting for capital investments like recycling, to voting on money requests by campus organizations, SGA is looking for students who want to help improve the campus. Voting for the new executive office began online on Wednesday, April 7th at midnight and continued until Thursday April 8th at midnight. Senate elections will begin next week. SGA is also partnering with the American Red Cross in a blood drive on April 7th and 8th. The donation center will be in the student activities center from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm. All students are encouraged to go to the American Red Cross website and make an appointment to donate. Follow the link to watch video coverage of Monday...

Mention Psalm 13 in most places and people will think first of the Old Testament passage penned by David; but mention “Psalm 13” to a Lipscomb student, and most will think first of a much newer song. However, although many Lipscomb students know of “Psalm 13” (the song), there are still many who don’t know anything about the song’s origin, or why they just can’t seem to find it on iTunes. Some might be surprised to learn that “Psalm 13” was not written by a recognized name in contemporary Christian music, but by Lipscomb alum Nathan Hale. A Time of Questioning In 2004, Nathan Hale was a freshman at Lipscomb struggling through an extremely difficult time of life. Many struggles and outside forces were leading Nathan to question God and begin to lose hope that God was listening. It was from this state of mind that Hale turned to the Psalms for comfort. After a night at church Hale connected with Psalm 13, and he immediately returned to the High Rise computer lab where he studied the psalm further in several different translations. After printing out different translations of the text, Hale made his way to the music department practice rooms in McQuiddy, at the time, where the song began to take shape. “When I wrote it, it was one of the scariest things that had ever happened to me. I had never put words and music together that quickly, words and chords together. I just remember screaming out the chorus and tearing up all alone there in that room,” Hale said. “After I had written it down and...
