Bells

  Bells ring. Class begins. Bells ring. Class ends. You study for a bit, do your homework, and before you know it the day is over. It happens again the next day: bells ring, class begins. Bells ring, class ends. You then realize the week is over, followed by the month, followed by the semester.…Read More ››

There’s three seconds left on the clock.  Your team is down by five points and the ball is on the five-yard line.  You have one chance to make it into the endzone, so your coach has called a time-out.  This is it. In the huddle, your teammates surround you: friends who have been with you…Read More ››

Each spring the seniors count down the days to graduation in many ways. One of the first ways is senior t-shirt delivery. The day before the senior class party, the seniors who ordered t-shirts are able to pick them up. We all agree that the shirts are awesome this year! They display our class verse,…Read More ››

The Question Page

When I arrived at PCC for the first time four years ago, I can still remember wandering around campus looking for the Academic Center. I must have looked lost, because a nice girl spontaneously came to my rescue. She pointed me in the right direction, but I got lost again two minutes later. Finally, I decided…Read More ››

Fifteen Minutes

Some of the best things in life really are the small things. Three nights a week, students in each residence hall room gather in small groups to have fifteen minutes of “prayer group.”  Songs, testimonies, devotionals, and prayer requests are all part of this time as the students get to know one another and learn how to…Read More ››

A Time To Grow

During March 14-16, PCC held its annual Bible Conference. We enjoyed hearing from excellent men of God. The speakers were Dr. Clyde Box, Dr. Shane Lewis, Dr. Marc Monte, and Dr. Joel Mullenix. Three of Dr. Monte’s messages contrasted Calvinism and the Biblical view of the sovereignty of God, the extent of the atonement, and…Read More ››

When I think model-sized speedboats, submarines, air gliders, hovercraft, and amphibious vehicles, I think engineering competition at PCC. Every time I hear about the specifications for each year’s competition, I can’t help but think, “This is just too cool.” Every year, any engineering student can compete in the engineering competition by working with a team…Read More ››

Aquatic Combat

Are you prepared for battle, trooper?  Do you have what it takes to survive marine warfare? First, you need all the necessary gear: Swimsuit?  Check. Flip flops? Check. Towel? Check. Goggles? Optional. Courage?  Mandatory. Sure, you can go to the Swim Center to do what the responsible athletes do and swim laps.  Swimming laps is…Read More ››

The aroma of sizzling bacon drifts down the hallway. Rich brownies show signs of being ready for consumption. No, these are not merely homesick dreams. If you have ever had a class on the first floor of the Academic Center, you have probably noticed the distracting smells that hover in those halls throughout the day.…Read More ››
