Bethany University

My heart is heavy as I write this because the place I spent 4 years of my life is gone. Bethany University was closed yesterday. Bethany U means a lot of things to a lot of people but for me it was a place where I grew, was stretched, learned life lessons and many other things. Bethany is a place where I met people I'll be freinds with for the rest of my life. I fell in love there, fell out of love, had my greatest struggles, had my greatest victories, but most of all got closer to my creator.

my memories of Bethany:

- monday night worship chapels that lasted till midnight.
- flushing my cell down the toilet then leaving for the weekend.
- video game nights in moon and matts room
- the awkward moment asking mack if I could be his roommate.
- seeing Nate Moon wear some dodgers closes after he lost a bet with me.
- "get legit", "build the kingdom brothers"- all dennis patton
