FROM THE EDITOR
A God’s Eye View I’m a sucker for Google Maps.
In the past few years, our campus and our school have undergone many physical and programmatic changes. Some, like classroom signage for every learning space, painted lockers, and new drinking fountains are little things that make a big difference. Others, like the science wing, new roofs, or baseball dugouts, are so big that you can see them from an airplane. If you’re only viewing these physical and programmatic changes from Google’s “Street view,” it might be easy to overlook how they fit into our mission. But our school is more interested in how the Lord sees us. If we consider the “God’s Eye View” of our campus, the improvements all connect to our mission. From a small improvement like the paint on our walls, to a new science wing which is visible from outer space, every upgrade helps us accomplish
And while those topics seem to jump around the map a bit, all of these areas have an on-campus home and a role to play in the execution of our mission. So let’s zoom in and out on the 41.866364,-87.942665 latitude/longitude point and see how God is at work in every program and every space on our campus. “Turn (page) left in 5 seconds.” n

I’m not the most directionally inclined person, so when I drive somewhere I use Google maps. The service offers a satellite or “bird’s eye view” directly overhead. That’s my favorite angle. It helps me understand where I am, where I’m going, and how I fit into the bigger picture. It gives me context.
