I promised I would put an actual update about what all is going on when I finished finals. I took my last three yesterday. For those of you curious, my professors were rather gracious in how they tested. I was underprepared because I spent Monday & Tuesday sick and in bed. I was rather relieved the exams were relatively simple. By no means did I make a high A on them, but I didn't do poorly enough to hurt my final grades for the semester.
Since I actually have a break from class for about a month, this is the plan. In two weeks, Emily & I will be meeting my family in Orlando for a week. On Christmas Eve, we will leave early in the morning to spend a few days in Tennessee with her family. In between all of that, I hope to get a little ahead in my reading for the class I'll have in January. On top of this, I'll have the usual church responsibilities.
Speaking of church, all is going well. God is blessing our little church, and several young families have been attending. As always, I stay a little confused and nervous when God is doing things. I know that sounds a little odd, but I don't understand why God chooses to bless us. There's nothing really different that we are doing as a church, but God is moving. My nervousness is simply the fact that tensions normally arise with growth in a church. Some of these are natural with any change, but Satan also is going to attack the areas God is moving. As a pastor, I try to anticipate these things. That's where the nervousness comes from. However, I'll take a little nervousness and confusion if it means God's kingdom is growing.
Ok, those are the big picture things going on in our lives.
God Bless you
