Coffee

Well I had my first coffee from Starbucks. I do not like coffee and I guess I just wanted one. Who knows, but now it is 12:45pm and still not tired. I guess that explains alot. Ha. It was a white moca or something. I don’t even know the lingo. But it was not too bad. Oh well big week up a head, tests, quizzes and papers. All the fun stuff. Prayers accepted.

Well school at Union has been going good. Pretty neat stuff we are learning. There seems to be a hint of arrogance for some Christian Studies majors. Hey maybe I just see it and it’s not really there. But I pray that I do not think I know more than someone, well, because I don’t. I know I am learning a lot, but I never want to get to a place where I know everything and do not want to be receptive to someone’s teaching.
Today I had a meeting for a group of men meeting together called “Man Up”. There was a pretty good sized group of men there and it is a time for us to study the Bible together, in a small group and individual. We will get curriculum to help us study the Bible personally and guide us through some of the men of the Bible and what they did and what they didn’t do. Lee Wilson, who is the one who got this together, said he was furious that when students turned in Life Group leader applications, that most of them were girls. And that got me thinking about churches and what I see when it comes to leaders. Sometimes you have to let women that there are not enough places for them to help out, but when it comes to the men, you have “twist” there arm for them to help out. It seems that men are not man-ing up to do what they need to do to be a leader.
This seems like it is going to be a great couple of weeks. I pray for all those men in the group that they will experience God and what it is to be a christian man.
Well got to go to class.

Random

Well, this is going to be kind of random. There has been a whole lot of things going on in the lives of everyone right now, not just here in my dorm room or Sarah’s but in all the students on this campus and people in their lives. Whether it’s cancer or simply a tough job. Every body has something. It’s amazing. But anyway, I just wanted to write, even though I should be going to be because it is 11:00 and I have to wake up at 6:00am to get ready for work, but oh well. There is a lot going on with school being so hectic and health wise of people it can get draining. I am starting a new job tomorrow morning and I hope everything will go fine. I don’t think there is much to mess up anyway, I’m sitting in a shack watching people come in. Nevertheless there could be something to mess up, I always find those things in moments where you think there wouldn’t be…just ask Sarah. Ha.

It feels as if there is a hundred million words a second flooding my brain every time I step into a class room and the teacher starts to lecture. But the thing is, it isn’t stuff I don’t care about….like in high school, I mean we can all be serious here, we are grown people, high school is a social event to most people. But here the knowledge is something I want to inquire, I want to keep everything stored in my little brain and then keep it. I am so grateful to be going to this school and to have the great professors. It is an amazing honor and privilege to be lead in a direction that all I am to do is teach, but not English and Math, but η λέξη του Θεού (the word of God). We have read many short essays from people like C.S. Lewis and Richard Weaver, who have these ideas as learning and studying are gifts from God and if we are to be allowed to study, anything, that we should do it and to not do it would be a sin. What a wonderful thought. It makes me want to study even more! But to be surrounded by the Word everyday and diving into it to find out that Luke was a Gentile writing to Gentiles tell you a whole bunch of facts you just miss out on when you are just reading it. The words (rema) become more clear, the way he writes becomes defined.

It is an awesome (expensive) experience to be here and retain the knowledge  I have to share the Ευαγγέλιο (Gospel) better than I ever could. Well, the food is ok here. Its food…I can’t complain. Sarah keeps on forgetting her camera (ok ok I forget to ask her), but I’ll try and get some up so that you guys can see what Union is all about. Yeah, haven’t written in a while. Busy body.
