Storms. They take on many forms, be it literal displays of natural ferocity or metaphorical happenings cloaked in hardship. During my summer, I was in the eye of hurricane "Uganda" and it tore me up, hurling my comfort zone to God knows where (If you find it, let me know). Envision two months of mission work, 4 weeks in orphanages, 15(ish) sermons, a tad bit o' law breaking and a motorcycle crash (not my fault...yeah, it was) with an added saturation of learning and you have just a glimpse of the supernatural storm that was Uganda. The thing about storms is, they're exciting to watch but terrifyingly breathtaking to be in. Advice from a wannabe storm chaser: Don't fear being bombarded by winds lest you be rooted in false contentment; in the eye, there is a wholly awesome peace.
My name is Garett Ernest Pierson, and this is my story. What’s yours?
Love. They say it’s blind. As a result, I wanted nothing to do with it. That is, until Jesus revealed His perfect love to me. Nothing I would do could make him love me more; nothing I would do could make him love me less. I was loved at full capacity. In that moment, everything I knew about God in my head, I believed about Him in my heart. Love. They say it’s blind. But I once was blind and now I see. His love changed me.

Imagine suffering from a broken leg. Think of the recovery. Now, think of the challenges that would surface if this recovery took place at ORU. Those who have ever suffered an injury while at school that rendered them immobile may remember how helpful — or difficult — the layout and appliances of the university were.
During the general remodeling ORU of the campus over the last few years, many steps have been taken to improve the accessibility of the buildings and walkways for those who are temporarily or permanently handicapped.
ORU recently launched a new iPhone app. The upgraded app features a new visual package and interactive information about the university.
Visitors will enjoy the self-guided campus tour with photos, videos and written descriptions of major campus structures. There is also a Google Maps interface that equips app users with the ability to pinpoint their exact location on campus.
