No classes today and yet I still did not get done what I needed to. It would be easy to assume that I just wasted the day away, but the reality is that I was busy from 8:30 this morning until 8:30 tonight. Seems like every time we have a day with an opening, a vacuum is created and it sucks a day full of things into it. We have several papers and a quiz over the next week, so got to get on it. My goal is to take Sunday off, doesn’t look good at this point, but I don’t know what He will help me accomplish between now and then.


Had a good lunch with the Pastor at my field education church, Pastor Eric. He and I are going to get along very well. We have the same type of demeanor and approach to things. A very good match by the Holy Spirit! My shirts and Alb should be here next week. I actually have a little thing about wearing the collar before I graduate, but I am told that once you are here the church looks at you as a Pastor in training and as such you will look the part as you are acting the part in congregation and community. Yes Sue, they are even calling us that up here. You had it right!

Tomorrow I only have a workshop in Pastoral Care. Mental note, I have to hand in a paper in that class. Yes, that means I still need to do it. Just pick three favorite topics to work on a video that we have to do. No big deal, but it needs to be done and handed in. 90 degrees here today with higher humidity reminded me of Florida. Supposed to be cooler on Saturday. All for tonight.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; calm you and provide for you the strength to accomplish all of the things you need to do. May he keep you safe and give you opportunity to deepen your faith in Him. Steve
