Choosing better than the 'R' word

By Jeannette.Cruz

This year, "Spread the Word to End the Word" day was March 2. Nearly 250 students teamed up with Grand Canyon University Best Buddies to spread the word to end the 'R' word. The word–"retarded" is “a derogatory that negatively impacts the acceptance and inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities," said Rebekah Dyer, GCU Best Buddies club advisor.

Bible Verse

All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. (Hebrews 11:13)
