Going for the Interception

Taylor's Jeremy Lochner went for the interception of this pass during the game against William Penn on Saturday. The shot was taken across the field with my 300mm lens.

Running For His Life

Although I liked the fast shutter speed and the shallow depth of field used on this shot, the Taylor running back actually got brought down behind the line of scrimmage on this play.

Just Barely!

I didn't know for sure that I had this shot until I downloaded it after the game. The two defenders got called for running into the kicker but Taylor declined because the punt went nearly 50 yards.

Passenger Car

This passenger car at the Knightstown-to-Carthage railroad yard is well past its prime but still serves as a reminder of days gone by.

Samuel Morris

Samuel Morris was a student at Taylor University from 1891-1893. The son of a Liberian chieftain, Morris, also known as Prince Kaboo, was kidnapped by a rival tribe, severely beaten, and about to be executed when a bright light shined about him and a voice urged him to get up and run.

After surviving a nearly 30-mile trek through the African jungle to a plantation on the Liberian coast, he met American missionaries who taught him to read. As he was reading the bible one day, he came to the place in the New Testament book of Acts in which the Apostle Paul saw a bright light and heard a voice from heaven.

Determined to learn more about the Holy Spirit, Morris booked passage on a freighter bound for New York. Eventually, he found himself at Taylor University, which at that time was a struggling college in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

His thirst to know more about God, his search for the Holy Spirit, and his simple prayer life had such a profound effect upon his fellow students that after his premature death from pneumonia in the spring of 1893, many of his classmates became missionaries to finish the work Morris said he wanted to do.
