As I finish my semester as a student in Prof. Sweet’s Entrepreneurship and the Mission of the Church class, I’m struck by where we started— Genesis 1:27.

They don’t just survive; they discover; they create….I mean, just look at what they do with food!” I’ve always loved this observation by Remy, the rodent hero of the Pixar film, Ratatouille.
