disappointed
I say the following with the caveat that I am not involved with any of my alma mater's alumni programs, don't donate money to them, nor have any real investment in their day to day activities beyond occasionally glacing at their website.
That being said:
I was extremely disappointed to find out that Kentucky Christian University is offering a credit card to alumni and friends of the university as a way of raising money. I know lots of responsible, successful people have credit cards. I realize they are a tool and like any tool their effectiveness and benefit is largely determined by how they're used.
But...
Credit cards are a dangerous tool and make it really easy for people to get in debt way over their heads. I find it somewhat ironic that a school known for having strict rules about dancing, alcohol, and staying out late (because while those kinds of activities may not be sinful, they can easily escalate into sinful behavior) isn't adverse to letting their "friends" flirt with debt and financial slavery (yeah, slavery is a little heavy handed, but the Bible said it, not me).
As I pointed out above, KCU has absolutely no reason to care what I think. If I were them I'd be much more inclined to listen to someone who was actually invested in them as an institution. I'm just disappointed. And a little incredulous.
I'm disappointed that you are a "little incredulous"...it's a fact that KCU is pimping debt slavery to it's 'friends'. Accept it and move on....and here's another fact...ALL TOOLS ARE DANGEROUS! The internet, a machete, and a pencil are all great and very useful tools and all can be very dangerous. So with your logic, none of those tools should be allowed at KCU either. And once they take away the students' right to carry a machete, they might as well burn the books and lock the doors...enlightenment ceases!
Holy crap! You got a KCU credit card, didn't you? Dude...
yeah he got a credit card, now he can pay off his other credit cards he max'd out buying pencils and machetes on the internet. colonel, don't think you can mask your own addictions. i hope you at least put pictures of cats on the card.
No pictures of cats, just a kick butt photo of Jesus turning over the money changers' tables in the temples. It's the actual photo taken by the Jerusalem paparazzi.
