That was my intention, and it has been part of my opening day routine at public universities, where I taught for more than 40 years. But I must tell you that I wasn\u2019t always so willing to say anything about my personal faith.<\/p><p>The first semester that I attempted to do so, I went to that first day of class ready to include it. But I was afraid. I wondered whether there was a reason there were no professors in the academy who were open about their faith \u2013 they had all been fired. (That wasn\u2019t true, but I didn\u2019t know it at the time.)<\/p><p>That night when I went home, I told my wife Anne that I had been silent. She encouraged me not to give up. The second class period I again intended to say something about my faith. But I was still afraid. This went on all semester.<\/p><p>Finally, during the very last class period, I let my students know that I was in fact a Christian. But it was too late for them to stop by my office and talk about it if they wished \u2013 at that point they just wanted to take the final exam and go home.<\/p><p>At least, I had said something about my faith. It was a beginning \u2013 a baby step.\u00a0 But I learned from this first step.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f863a64 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f863a64\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-187e74b\" data-id=\"187e74b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfda451 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cfda451\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">First Impressions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bf3731d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bf3731d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0286808\" data-id=\"0286808\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e33766b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e33766b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now one of the most important goals for my first day of class is to connect personally with my students. Our first impressions are among the most lasting ones, (see Malcolm Gladwell\u2019s Blink) so I have become very intentional in my actions.<\/p><p>After explaining the course objectives and reviewing the syllabus, I make sure to:<\/p><ul><li>introduce my family with photos of us playing tennis and snow skiing;<\/li><li>talk about flying a Cessna 172 that I rent as a private pilot;<\/li><li>say that my Christian faith is the foundation on which everything else I do is built;<\/li><li>take pictures of the students in groups of four.<\/li><\/ul><p>Using these pictures with their names on them, I can usually learn all the students\u2019 names by the end of the third week.

Now over 40 years later I can say it has been a great journey for us. If I had tried to lead an exemplary life on campus, but said nothing about Christ, I might get the glory.
