When they returned to Bruce’s yard about 20 minutes later, Bruce said to his friend “I just met the girl I’m going to marry.” Bruce and Jan were married on June 12, 1971, after his sophomore year at Auburn University. Jan delayed her own education and worked as a secretary on campus so that Bruce could concentrate on his studies without having to take a part time job.

In this story, the opposite happened: Jesus responded in surprise to the faith of the centurion. The centurion did not have faith like the crowd that was simply waiting for another miracle. The centurion was convinced the Master of the Universe was about to come into his house and felt unworthy. His faith in Jesus was greater than the faith of His own disciples. </p> Wed, 02 Apr 2025 14:48:44 +0000 PhD Dissertation Defense for Dollene Trott-Smith http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67046 <p> A PhD dissertation defense for <strong>Dollene Trott-Smith</strong> is scheduled on<strong> Wednesday, April 16, 2025,</strong> from <strong>3–6 p.m. via Zoom</strong>.</p> <p> Dollene Trott-Smith will defend her dissertation in partial fulfillment for the PhD degree in educational leardership.
