Back Issues of the Crimson & White Connection

The C&WC is printed about every 3 weeks on average, 18 times a year is our target. (We don't always hit 18, but we try to.)

These are most of the back issues, only going back to part of 2004; the C&WC started publishing in the Summer of 1998.

If you're looking for a particular article or to see the variety of types of things we write about, look at the descriptions/titles of teh articles for each issue. That's what this archieve is for. Or maybe you need a resource for yourself, or for someone else. Click on the link at the beginning of each issue's description to open the Acrobat file. Then you can download or print it.

Subscribe and we'll send the latest issue and add you to the database for the next issue. These are for the purpose of "sampling" not regular reading. We want to put the C&WC in your mail box.
 
We have recently concieted to delivery by email. We do it for those that are out-of-the-country, so why not others. If email is what you want, that's how we'll send it.

Don't miss the witness postcards, too.

Want to get on our mailing list? ... You'll need to download and print an issue or at least print the subscription form on page 7 in any issue. Fill it out and MAIL it in. Print so we can read it, please. (I have taught school for many years and some people's handwriting, well, you get the idea. Print clearly, please.) Or, you can email us ALL the same information that is requested on the form in every issue.

These are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. You need Acrobat Reader or Acrobat. You can download Acrobat Reader FREE from www.Adobe.com. You can open and read them on-line, or you can open and print, or download and print them.

Archive of recent back issues... for reference... and if you want to read a couple samples... and so we can refer people to here and they can see what we publish and decide to subscribe or maybe even distribute the C&WC at their church.
* * * This is only supposed to be an archive. We want you to get the C&WC in your mailbox.
* * * It seems we're always working on getting caught up on uploading. Please be patient. * * *
- - The most current issues of the C&WC are not available online. We want to put mail in a student's mail box, not have them come and get it online. We will deliver by e-mail to those who prefer that. (If you are outside the U.S., then we will require email delivery due to cost and dependability. Some of the Acrobat files are large, so they may take a little time to download.) Issues are usually not uploaded to this web site for at least months after the issue date.
- - Some of '04, most of '05, then '06, '07, '08, '09 are here. (Whew; just finished all of 2009 in Dec 2013.) Issues from '10 and later will get posted as I get time to get back to this. 

*****************
A book... Let me add the book I assembled about a student I had to this "downloads page." I mentioned it on the home page. - - Rather than have to update links in 3 places (Home, Back Issues, and Downloads) as I revise the book, I'll just refer you back to the Home page for the link to the latest version of the book to download.
* * * * * * Book added to the site Dec 2013. ...Of interest to you, maybe, is a book I've almost finished. I decided to upload a pdf file version of the latest draft to this site. - - The book is the result of conversations with someone during the last couple months of their life.  -  Her, our, story started 10 years earlier when she walked into my Statistics class at Elon University. She got on our mailing list for the Crimson & White Connection. We had many lunch meetings where we would talk about relationships, spiritual things, and death. She got hooked into alcohol and drugs. Years past with periodic connections. She would often write "Don't give up on me." And I often wrote/emailed to her "God loves you and so do I. I promised you that I would pray for you every day." That last sentence shortened to "pfyed." Then she called one day and said, "I want what you have." Many conversations later, she professed her belief in Jesus for her eternity. Less than 3 months later, after 5 days unconscious on a ventilator, she stopped breathing and her heart stopped for the last time. She had said in those last couple months, "I could be the 'poster child' for what not to do in college. - Don't do alcohol. Don't do drugs." Melanie Manley died 10 days after her 29th birthday on March 11, 2013. This book is (a) to her memory, (b) the story of her life, and (c) as a warning to others (her wish), and (d) the story of how one of my students went from a stranger to God, to drugs and alcohol, and finally came to a saving relationship with God for Eternity. - - You can pull up the file, read it, download it, print it, even pass it on (unedited), either printed or the pdf file, with my permission.  - -  Rather than have to update links in 3 places (Home, Back Issues, and "Download), I'll just refer you back to the Home page for the link to the latest version of the book to download.
*****************

When I get time to work on it again, I'll archive 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013. But you can see a good sampling of the KIND of stuff that's in the C&WC in these back issues.
