Students organize day-long prayer

Hoelscher said the turnout was good, although he did not keep count of how many were there.

"There was probably an average of four or five people praying at any given point during the day," Holescher said. "There was only one time when I was praying by myself and that lasted less than 10 minutes."

Hoelscher said they are already planning the next Dawn 2 Dusk to coincide with the National Day of Prayer on May 1, 2008.

Calen Taylor, a freshman business major, said it was encouraging to hear other people with similar passions and prayers God has put on his heart.

"Dawn 2 Dusk is just another movement God is using to shape his revival generation here at Texas A&M," Taylor said. "This campus is being shifted and molded by God. Every week we are seeing more and more Christ followers experiencing God on this campus and it is getting incredible."

Kristen Muller, a sopohomore biology major, said she thought the day was a great thing for both Christians and non-Christians.

"For Christians, it was an encouragement to be able to just know that there are others who have the same heart for the same Lord as they do, and that we all have things that we need to pray about," Muller said. "For non-Christians, I hope it was living proof that we do believe in a God who is real, loving and listens to us."

"So I told the people that were still left...about the idea God had given me..." -Jamison Hoelscher

How did God give you this idea? Was it revealed in a dream? Or through feelings while you were praying? Maybe it was just your own thought to promote prayer and not an idea from God. (Continued…)

Hahaahahha, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard....god gave you the idea. I totally agree with James. Why can't people take responsibility for their own life rather than saying god told me to do it, god gave me he idea, or god planned this for me. (Continued…)

I would honestly follow the will that God has for my life, rather than follow what my own feelings/thoughts/opinions lead me to believe is right. Why? Because I feel like I would mess it up nearly every time. (Continued…)

Mysticism? or Reality?

posted 10/25/07 @ 12:02 PM CST

In response to James Newlin: is theism really mysticism? Science has not yet come up with a halfway decent explanation of how this universe ever came into existence, nor will it ever. (Continued…)

Ah, but that's the beauty of America - you're free to believe in whatever or whomever you choose to believe in and even though I don't agree with Newlin or Ag 06, it is their choice to believe the way they do. (Continued…)

Hey James, I am actually surprised to see you again. I mean, after you randomly sent a message to one of the prayer leaders telling her not to post flyers advertising this event, and then ended our conversation on Facebook by blocking me when you didn't agree with my views, I figured that would be enough.

Okay, James, now you are starting to scare me a little. You think that helping out people (remember that they are people) with disabilities and handicaps is bringing down America? I have a feeling that if you got in a car wreck and were physically disabled, you would probably change your mind in a heartbeat. (Continued…)

Just for curiosity purposes, does Thursday, May 1, 2008 fall on the dead day where there are no classes, or is that one of the final weeks of real classes?

Also, does Aggie Ring Day fall around that time? I'm too lazy to look it up since I work for a living haha. (Continued…)

Hey Jamison, just curious how it is you got from "Darwin's Natural Selection ideologies" to Hitler? Please elaborate for my amusement!
