Rain, Rain, and More Rain!

Tall Grass Prairie

A storm is moving in over the prairie.

This is a beautiful area to just watch nature! There are buffalo everywhere that roam over thousands of acres. Sometimes they will block the gravel roads and you just need to sit and wait for them to move. There are a couple of hiking trails and a nature center that you can explore. This is a great place to see what the prairie looks like. With a little imagination you can picture Indians riding alongside your car!

A Beautiful Day on Campus!

I just couldn't help posting this picture. I took this one about an hour ago from campus. It has been a beautiful day on campus...about 80 degrees. Can you picture yourself sitting on that bench enjoying some quiet time?

Price Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright

If you enjoy interesting architecture and history, take a look at the Price Tower designed and built by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located in the center of Bartlesville. The Price Tower is located about 5 minutes from campus. Take a couple of minutes and click here to learn more. It's a great place to visit.

I took this picture last night on the way to campus. Just to the left of the tower is the Bartlesville library and to the right is the beautiful community center. By the way...the entire city of Bartlesville has free wi-fi.

Dirt Bike Time!

This area has some wide open spaces for dirt bike riding. Dirt bikes come in all sizes for all ages!

This is my son racing across the front yard.

Enjoy Shooting?

Bartlesville area has a ton of places for hunting and shooting. If you enjoy shooting, this is the place for you!

This is my niece and I doing some shooting. Don't panic...I'm wearing ear protection when I actually shoot!

Welcome to Oklahoma Wesleyan University and beautiful Northeast Oklahoma!

If you're tired of Christian Colleges that are more college than Christian, welcome to OWU...a university where Jesus is Lord!

I'm Dr. Bob Myers, the Executive Vice President at OWU. I am going to spend time answering questions you may have about OWU, but specifically give you a look at the fun things you can do in northeast Oklahoma where OWU is located. It seems like so many people think Oklahoma is just dust and tornadoes and nothing could be further from the truth!

Have fun exploring with me as I show you what it's like to live in northeast Oklahoma and the fun things to do while attending OWU!

The Four Pillars of OWU

The primacy of Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, who is the lens for all learning and the Lord of our daily lives.
The priority of Scripture as the inerrant and authoritative written Word of God that guides us in all matters of faith, learning, and living.
The pursuit of Truth as an objective, attainable reality grounded in the person and example of Jesus Christ and anchored in the Bible.
The practice of Wisdom as the goal for all members of the university community, who work to promote healing and wholeness in a broken culture and hurting world.
