Back Home!

Got home last night and it feels good to be back and reconnect with the family.  The airport and the planes last night were packed.  Of course this time of year that is not surprising as the snowbirds start heading back down to FL.  I am glad to not be traveing all the time anymore.  Just before I left for the Charlotte airport I found out that I got a 90 on my Greek test.  :):)  I did get 10 chapters of my History of Christianity book read on the plane from Atlanta.  Spent the morning working on the yard.  I can definitley tell I am in much better shape from working out since I was able to do about twice as much work as I was able to do before I left. 

The phallacy about this break is that we have a lot of homework that we need to do while we are on break.  We have a midterm in Pastoral Care on Friday when we get back and a test in Intro to Bible the following Tuesday.  Don't get me wrong.  I will take it even with the tests.  It is sure great to get to see the family.

I have been watching the Gator game today.  As I understand things, Jason got a chance to go to the game.  What a game to get to see in person.  I am sure he is worn out from that game.  Gators 23, Arkansas20.  Toooooooo close!  South Carolina is on against Alabama in about a half an hour. 

It feels good to be home, but I have to admit, trying to do school and live at home or have everyone up there would be very challenging.  I know how much I have to get done this weekend and I can already feel it getting tough to do all the things they want to do and the things I need to get done.  The Lord is providing and it is working.  I am really looking forward to church in the morning.  It will be great to see everyone.  It also worked out that the bloodmobile will be there this weekend so I am able to keep up with that.  From here I think I am back every four weeks.  Thanksgiving and then end of semester for Christmas break. 

One of the things I can see coming back is that we have WAY too much clutter around this house and we need to get it out of here to get the house on the market.  I think we need to just call Goodwill or Salvation Army and have them come tak about half of our stuff away.  It would be great to do a garage sale, but I think emotionally and mentally it would do us mor good to just get this stuff out of here.  I have to admit if I never have to cut grass again or worry about maintenance I will be happy.  This may be the last house we ever own. 

I pray that you are able to see God working in your life as it happens.  That has made such a difference in my life.  I think up until that point God is a head thing, at least I think it was in my life.  I think when I was able to see God working in my life as it was happening I started the coversion to the heart.  Once He gets into your heart, look out.  I just thank Him for loving me and claiming me as worthy to do His will.  Steve
