As a part of my Spiritual Life class, I have been asked to keep a journal. Honestly, I kind of smiled about this assignment. For some reason, I already thought I had one going... here, well, maybe. But, I think this will be a fine format for just this sort of thing. Judging from the dwindling number of hits to this site, I don't have too much fear that someone will read something of such earth shattering personal import that I will suffer undue embarrassment. But, it will be a nice to wax eloquently here again. Really, it's been a while.
So, school has started in earnest. Yes, it is a graduate level program and the reading and writing expectations are intense. I have scheduled my life to the point of micromanagement, because I had to. There simply is not a another way to get it all done. But, I will unhesitatingly admit that, I believe the schedule demands of part time school and full time work are redonkulous! Yep, I said redonkulous! (The actual first written usage of the work from Roald Dahl’s book The BFG according to STEVEN D. LEVITT of the blog Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of Everything.)
Anyway, I digress... I will be blogging more, now that it is a requirement...hehehehe. I might even have a serious thing or two to say (sarcasm, don't I always discuss serious thing here?) As usual, there are a myriad of things swirling around at any given moment. We'll catch up on a few shortly. In the meantime, take a look at Psalm 8. After you get passed the first few verses outlining the vast greatness and power of the Lord, look at verse 4. Who are we that God would consider us in the vastness of the universe and glory of His creation? He created us a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned us with glory (v. 5) He has given us charge of all nature (v. 6) How majestic is His name in all the earth! (v. 9) Rejoice! The Lord thinks much of you and me. Let's dig into our relationship with Him and live life to the fullest!
