Quote of the Week

From: ZackSaint.com » Blog Archive » Zack’s wall at the hospital

“For whatever reason God chose to make man as he is, limited in suffering and subject to sorrows and death, he had the courage to take his own medicine. Whatever the game he is playing at with his creation, he has kept his own rules, and he has played fair. He can exact nothing from man that he has not exacted from himself. He has himself gone through the whole of human experience, from the trivial irritations of family life and the cramping restrictions of hard work and lack of money, to the worst horrors of pain and humiliation, defeat, despair, and death. When he was a man, he played the man, he was born in poverty and died in disgrace, and he thought it all worthwhile. Hallelujah, what a Savior!”

Note: Zack Saint wanted this brought to the hospital where he was.

ZACK SAINT

Sept. 17, 1983 – Feb. 3, 2006

Shortly over a month later, the university held another memorial service on Wednesday, Feb. 13, to mourn the loss of Zack Saint, 23, of Morgantown, Penn. Zack died Friday, Feb. 3, of leukemia, having successfully battled the disease as a child. Thirty LETU students were en route by car to Pennsylvania to say goodbye to the senior mechanical engineering major when they learned Zack was gone. Students and alumni from all over the country gathered in Zack’s hometown to comfort his family. One of his nurses came to know Christ through the example of Zack’s life and the prayers of Zack’s friends. Zack requested memorials be made to his senior design project, the LETU Powered Parachute Team. His family is also establishing a scholarship fund in his memory.

Note: I had Dr. Green (advisor to the Powered Parachute Team) as my professor for Fundamentals of Engineering Design (AKA Legos) class.
