Chi Alpha @ Stanford

This Tues­day at 8pm in 300–300, we’ll be talk­ing about How To Be Thank-Full.

Some peo­ple com­plain that God put thorns on roses, while oth­ers praise Him for putting roses on thorns…

If you’d like to learn how to be more thank­ful, then join us this Tuesday!

On a side note, Jimmy Lim (another of our alumni) has a per­sonal web­site up recount­ing his life and thoughts in the Sin­ga­porean military.

Dr. Dieck­mann holds a Ph.D. in Chem­istry and is also a com­mit­ted Christian.
