Tyler

by Tyler Maltbie

The last my Bible Lesson of the year has been edited, I’ve sat through my final Bible scholar meeting, and now my four weeks are up. I’ve contributed quite a bit to the my Bible Lesson product and have enjoyed seeing a product develop from beginning to end.

Among the numerous jobs and activities I was involved in I most enjoyed the editing work I did for my Bible Lesson. Many people put a lot of thought and time into developing and designing the extra features in each Lesson. Being able to review and refine these features, as well as suggest new ideas was valuable and rewarding. It will be exciting to see the work I’ve done arrive on the web for distribution! I am glad to know the writing, editing, and organizational skills I’ve developed during high school and college have not been for nothing. I’m now more prepared for the work force than I thought I would be at this point.

Tyler

by Tyler Maltbie

I’m Tyler Maltbie, and for an all too brief four weeks and two days this winter, I am working as a publishing production intern in the Bible Lesson Products Department of the Publishing Society. I’m back home here in Boston where I’ve temporarily traded in my backpack and mountain bike for a brown bag lunch and an hour-long commute. I’m making the most of my last winter break from Principia College.

The pool of possibility

Miranda

by Miranda Miller

I have grown quite fond of this big town they call Boston. Every aspect of my experience here-this internship, new friendships, city life, spiritual growth-has become very rich over these couple of months. I have to admit, when I first arrived after having spent a year living near the charming city of Chicago, I was a little skeptical. But the more I looked around me, the more I began to notice how much Boston has to offer.

It’s as if there’s this giant reflecting pool, full of opportunities to get outside of myself and grow into a new realm of understanding, but it’s up to me to decide if I want to just walk on by, dip my toe in, or jump right in. Fortunately, unlike the reflecting pool outside my office window on The Mother Church plaza, there aren’t any “No Swimming” signs or security guards at my pool-it’s fair game!
