Developing Meekness in Your Life and Mine
We’ve looked at man’s idea of meekness, and more importantly, the Bible’s view of meekness. Now what? What tools can we use to cultivate meekness in our daily lives?
One more confession: this isn’t (
ahem) the first time I’ve studied meekness. Several years ago, I was working to prepare a devotional on this passage from 1 Peter 3:
Do not let your adorning be external the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. (vv. 3–6)

Suburban community colleges set to receive millions of dollars more in federal COVID-19 relief funding in the coming months are stepping up efforts to help students in need with tuition costs and other expenses, as well as using the money to mitigate the pandemic s impact on their budgets.
The American Rescue Plan authorized in March provides more than $36 billion in emergency grants, including $10 billion to community colleges, $2.6 billion to historically Black colleges and universities, and $6 billion to Hispanic- and other minority-serving institutions. Illinois share is about $1.26 billion.
Public and private colleges and universities can use the funds to support students with exceptional needs, including unexpected expenses, such as job loss, food or housing insecurity and transportation, provide academic or mental health supports, discharge debts, and mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Cheyenne Wagner s senior year at Ohio State University wasn t quite what she imagined it would be.
Since the start of the academic year, Wagner and thousands of her fellow students have been on a roller coaster as the university transitioned through the spring to a mix of in-person and online courses. As the COVID-19 pandemic lingered on, the university canceled fall and spring breaks as it implemented a variety of health measures for students and staff members, including regular testing and mandated face masks.
It came as a pleasant surprise to Wagner, 22, when she learned in March that at the very least she would get to take part in an in-person graduation ceremony at the historic Ohio Stadium. But even that momentous occasion was marred as those who attended the spring commencement on Sunday were subjected to downpours of rain.
