Spring has arrived!
Spring flower by Linette Popoff-Parks It's been a seemingly endless winter, with snow and ice taunting us well into April. But we're finally getting season-appropriate weather, and no one's complaining. We see students come to class in shorts, people pull out lighter jackets, buds take shape on tree branches, and many of us feel a touch of hope in the air. You'll also find a touch of hope in the contributions to this winter 2018 issue of MU Voices. Jesse Cox finds God's home in his grandmother's kitchen; Jayson Grayson writes about a life-changing book; Angelica Rivera tells a ghost story driven by love; Joshua Johnson shares his incredible drawings; Jackie Pruitt shares words of wisdom; and Matt Murphy suggests a solution to gun violence in schools. Photos from MLK Week and the Detroit March for our Lives shows Madonna's commitment to the greater community. Barbara Glover's stories reveal the potential of cooperation and new beginnings.
