Welcome to The Image, the literary magazine for Southwestern Assemblies of God University, whose purpose is to allow members of the campus family to showcase  their creativity in the form of original written work-- poetry, short fiction, memoir, reflection--as well as art and photography. You're enjoying the first e-journal presentation of The Image, a publication which has lain dormant for several years and has resurfaced in a new format. While all of the selections in this edition are writing, future editions will include artwork and photography.

"Campus family" includes students, faculty, staff, administration, and alumni. If you're interested in submitting your original work for future editions of The Image, send your work via e-mail attachment to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Submissions must be in by November 1 each year to be considered by a committee for inclusion in the annual e-journal, which will be posted each May.

All work must appropriately represent the mission and core values of SAGU.

Many thanks to the talented contributors of this first e-journal version of The Image. Enjoy!
