Love is Patient, Love is Kind

Happy Valentine’s Day! Today on the Morning Thing, we dove into the “Love Chapter” of the Bible!

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.If I give all I possess to the poorand give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhoodbehind me.For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13: 1-13

As always, thanks for listening and happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at WNZR!

Sandy Kollar of Knox Community Hospital shares her experiences with MVNU’s Undergraduate and Graduate Programs

School is hard enough when it’s the only thing you’re working on. Add in a family and a full time job and it is a whole new type of challenge. This challenge though is one that can bring some definite benefits. We had the opportunity to talk over how post-graduate work helps with someone who has come to MVNU to study 3 separate times.

Sandy Kollar is the Vice President for Quality and Performance Improvement at Knox Community Hospital. She is alos a multi-time alumni of MVNU. Sandy shared with us how she has attended MVNU for her three different degrees, both as and undergrad and for post graduate studies. She also talked about the challenges of going back to school and how the additional degrees have helped her in her career path.

You can hear the entire conversation with Sandy HERE. If you would like more information on MVNU’s Graduate and Professional Studies or Traditional Admissions, visit MVNU.edu.
