Burman University and Parkview Adventist Academy exist today because, many decades ago,
a light was kindled on the Hilltop. A light fueled by faith, learning, and a vision for what God
could do through this community. What began as a small flame has continued to burn brightly
through generations of leaders, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends who carried that light
forward with dedication and purpose. That light is not confined to our campuses, it continues to
shine across communities, churches, professions, and nations around the world through the lives
of those who were shaped here. Today, we are going to reflect on the role of being lights on the
hilltop, and how God continues to use this place as a beacon whose light reaches far beyond what
its founders could have imagined.

FIND JOY IN GOD’S CREATION Have you ever been inside working all day and suddenly felt the need to take a break? Most of the time, we head outdoors for a walk and a quick change of scenery. Spending time in nature can give you a fresh perspective. It might be as simple as enjoying the sunshine on your face or listening to the wind rustling through the trees. Being in contact with nature is associated with increased happiness, positive social interactions with friends and family, a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life, and reduced mental distress. If you are feeling out of sorts and looking for a way to boost your mood, spend more time outdoors in God’s creation! As Psalm 144:15 reminds us, “Happy are the people whose God is the Lord.” ~ Your Health Ministry Team
