Application In

What application?  That was the previous post.  Scroll down and start there.  However, after reading the previous post, you may be wondering exactly "Which one?"  I'm glad you asked; Dallas Theological, of course.

Yep, all the parts and pieces came together and have been submitted for processing.  I am very excited.  Our family is too.  I probably won't get to start until this spring, but that's ok.  There are still a lot of details to work out.  Not the least of which is paying for it.  However, we really believe that this is a prime opportunity to see the Lord provide and we are looking forward confidently expecting that He will.

The opportunity to prepare for the second half of my career life is a great privilege.  The chance to engage in work that counts for eternity is awesome.  Please don't get me wrong, we all have the opportunity to work each day for the Kingdom.  I'm really talking about the joy and privilege of doing so on a full-time basis.

So, I'll keep you posted... One of my favorite quotes is from Jim Elliott, missionary to Ecuador who, along with four others, was killed while attempting to evangelize the Waodani people through efforts known as Operation Auca.  He said, "He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."  That seems so appropriate here.
