This is a compilation of messages that I’ve taken away from every chapel that I’ve attended while in college. The idea in each line comes from a sermon or song that I heard throughout my stay at school. Apologies for the broken meter and unconnected lines, but I thought I would post it anyway. Hope you enjoy.
