Teaching, Preaching, and Reuniting

Regarding teaching, I felt like I hit a stride this week. Yesterday, I lectured on the Good Samaritan in my New Testament Survey class and talked about how it is really about racism and sin in the life of highly religious persons. Wow! Talk about social dynamite. It was truly a class that I loved.
Regarding Preaching, our 747 college venue service here at CWC has just been exploding. The first week we had 40, second week we had 80, and now this past week, we had about 120-130. And this past week, I really felt God used the worship and the my message to speak to the students, but also to myself! I was so much more confident in the Word God gave me, which makes all the difference in the world.
Regarding Reuniting, this weekend is my 10 year high school reunion and I am realizing what a great witnessing opportunity. I get to tell all these people what I do now for a living and how much I love God! I have not seen many of these persons in years. Now I just have to choose if I am going to be quiet about my faith, or be bold when the situation arises and share the love of God that I have in my life. My prayer is for boldness and spiritual wisdom and discernment this weekend.

Random Thoughts about Random Things

I usually write more serious blogs, but it is after 11pm and I am dead. I have to teach in the morning at 7:50am and need to sleep, but am having late night random thoughts like:
1. I do believe God has a sense of humor - i.e. I hated 7:50's in college and now I am teaching one. I have a kid in the back who sleeps sometimes but I have not had the heart to wake him yet as I keep thinking how I was that guy at one point :)
2. Do American primary and secondary schools not teach kids how to write papers. I am in the process of grading reflection papers right now and it is unreal how many students make simple grammatical mistakes that kill them. Where are the grammar teachers?
3. I love my wife!
4. I absolutely love what I am doing? Can you say that about your job, ministry, life? I sure hope so.
5. I feel so blessed right now. I have a great wife, amazing job, wonderful parents and family...God is good!
6. LSU Tigers are 6 in the nation right now in football and are moving up after their win over Auburn this week.
7. I am headed back in 1 week to my 10 year high school reunion...what! are you kidding! 10 years! I am getting old for sure!
8. We launched a new college service/venue here at CWC called 747 and for the second week since its existence we doubled in size to almost 100...our big kickoff is this week so pray for that if you can.
Well I am off but let me know any randoms you would add here...I promise the next blog will be more focused...
