Its been a little bit since my last post so I'll do a quick catch up. Two weeks ago was a heavy one. Two friends of mine had funerals for family members. As you may know, it is very sobering to think about death. Its interesting isn't it, that death makes us think about life. I desperately want my life to count for something, to communicate what is most important to those who are watching and to inspire others to do the same. When I'm done I want others to celebrate life...sure mine, but really I want them to celebrate the source of life in me...my Jesus! For all that to happen, I've got to live every day, one at a time, intentionally yielded and purposefully, allowing God to do HIS purpose in and through me.
On a completely different note, this past week I was able to spend a little time away with my parents who were vacationing in Florida. It was a welcomed refreshment and the weather was perfect...hot! Of course, being so warm for a few days has made it even colder here this week, but I have some good memories for sure. Among those memories will be the walks on the beach, watching the dolphins and just being.
The upcomig weeks will be spent trying to do more catching up, especially in the grading. I have to admit, grading is my least favorite thing about teaching. Its also time to begin looking ahead to next semester already...wow. Registration begins next week, this means textbook ordering,and syllabii revisions. These weeks before Thanksgiving will also provide a few speaking opportunities--a workshop at the Minister's Enrichment day hosted by Baptist Bible Seminary, and a couple days out at Moody Bible Institute. To add to the excitement of my time at Moody, I'll have a chance to reconnect with a couple friends who work out there.
In the meantime, there's much to be done. The first matter of business...is a good night's sleep.
