Cambridge adjunct instructor and advisory board member David McWilliams will be leaving this summer for Westminster Theological Seminary in Dallas where he will be professor of Systematic Theology. Westminster has given permission for David to continue as an advisory board member and adjunct instructor with Cambridge, so we expect to have him back from time to time for meetings and short term classes. David is a close personal friend and I will miss him.

Jacqueline Thrush, Katie Mesh and I recently attended a play based on the life of Zora Neale Hurston at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. We had just finished discussing Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God the previous week so the play was an interesting way to round out our knowledge of Hurston and her work. Before attending the play we had a wonderful dinner at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City. Dinner came complete with an authentic Hispanic atmosphere, a waiter with a wonderful Hispanic accent and flamenco dancers!

Other student news: Dustin Douglass recently received a soccer scholarship to Covenant College... go Scots! Jonathan Streets received a soccer scholarship to Liberty University... go... ?... ! Congratulations to both Jonathan and Dustin.

Dustin and Cara, Janie and I and board members Steve and Cheryl Strodtman recently attended the Ligonier Conference in Orlando. The conference (the topic was Holiness) proved to be a time of physical and spiritual refreshment for us all! We particularly enjoyed dinner and fellowship with conference attendees from Cypress Ridge Presbyterian Church in Winter Haven where Dustin served as Youth Pastor for a number of years. (Cambridge expects a number of students from Winter Haven this coming year. Did you know that Cambridge attracts students from as far away as Lake Wales, Haines City and Plant City?) We also enjoyed some time with attending Cambridge students Don Rule and Michael Strawbridge.
