I thought I would begin my reentry into the blogosphere with an update on my life over the last few weeks:
- I’ve begun full-time studies at Taylor Seminary and so far so good…but ask me in November when all my paper/presentation due dates converge.
- I took a week-long extensive class at Briercrest a couple weeks ago in Saskatchewan and survived. The class was good but it was lonely. Briercrest is literally in the middle of nowhere with one choice for food (Subway) besides the high school cafeteria (I stood in line for about 30 second and came to my senses). Consequently, I ate at Subway every night for supper. I’ve had my fill of subs for a while.
- I met a guy from my youth group back in Regina for lunch while I was at Briercrest…it was great to hear what God was doing in his life and his passion for ministry and missions.
- I finished at the church and survived the roast at my farewell…it was very encouraging and affirming. Laurie and I both feel commissioned into this next chapter of our lives.
- I am finishing my resume and will be getting ready to engage the long process of looking for another ministry.
- I found this great website with a daily cartoon on the church. This guy has a unique way of putting on screen what people write entire books about. Brilliant, provocative and timely are some of the many words you could use to describe it.
- I was introduced to this great software (Mindjet) which has changed the way I organize papers, do my to-do list, etc.
- I am doing some detailed study on Martin Luther for an independent study class I am taking. I’ve found it to be very interesting. I am actually in the process of writing a major paper on antisemitism in the writings and Sermons of Luther and it’s effects on the nation of German, leading to Nazism and then its contemporary response on behalf of Evangelicals today. I will try writing a blog post on some of that soon.
- Our twins are in Kindergarten and our oldest is in grade two…time goes so fast!
- TV has begun and I am excited about getting back into some mindless TV entertainment.
- I’ve seen some good movies lately on DVD & in theaters. If you haven’t seen “King of Kong” yet, you need to get a copy of it.
