Little Manners

I love hearing a little voice from another room in the house say, "Bless you Daddy" when I sneeze.

She also says, "excuse me" when she toots or burps.

When all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

3:30am….Going to Bed!  Just finished the 500 pager in 3 days.

I am flat worn out! One more paper to write and then clean up the other 5 and I am done!!!

Your prayers are appreciated…no they are coveted. 

Slowly but surely

Finished 3 more books.  Now I just have an 8 page paper, 500+ page book to read, another 8 page review, and prep work for a presentation and I am done!

9 days to get it all done….

Please pray for me!  I've cracked the red bull and i'm planning an all-nighter.

Outnumbered

The Lord's Prayer…sung by Andrea Bocelli, but it's not as good as my Pap singing it

Pressing on

I just completed my reading and writing for one of my two modular courses in January.  Now just 4 more books and 4 papers and I am done!!!  Please pray for us right now.  We have a lot of irons in the fire right now.  Trying to find time to read and write has been difficult!

The Gospel impacts everything...

We had a great day at a local church yesterday.  It was really encouraging to see so many people that were focused intently on the message.  The majority of the people were taking notes.  There was a girl sitting in front of me with a Bible that was highlighted, diagramed and had all kinds of other things written in it.  After the first sermon a woman who was probably in her 80's got up and recited at least 2 chapters of Scripture from memory, it was amazing! After the next sermon, we took communion that was from a common cup (and its flu season).  

I made a couple observations about the members there.  First, they were the most warm, loving and welcoming people that we have met since we have been here.  Second, they had some of the cleanest bathrooms that we have seen.  This might sound random, but it just goes to show that the Gospel should impact everything in your life.  It should cause you to reflect on the grace and mercy that has been given to you.  It should affect the way you treat people.  And it should cause you to be a good stewards of things entrusted to you.  If only the Gospel could permeate this culture…every culture, the world would be a totally different place (Hmm, maybe what God originally intended it to be before sin).
