I spent the day reassessing life, ministry, family, and faith. Sometimes this happens because it is a much needed exercise for Christians. Other times it is thrust upon you by events and circumstance. At the end of the day “Grace”—unmerited, unmitigated, and unending, made a sudden and surprising entrance. It’s like I have a new lease on life and am ready to focus on those things that consume much of my time and effort, but that matter on a much lesser level than things of eternal value.
Had a great evening with Penny,
reviewing our calendar for the coming school year. It is amazing how quickly a calendar becomes
almost viral! It takes on a life of its
own and will eventually consume you if left to its own devising. It’s not a living being, but it seems like it
is at times.
Yesterday’s introspection has
ushered in a new determination to move ahead—learning from past mistakes, and
not permitting anything or anyone to deter from the joy of serving the hundreds
of children in this system. They are the
focus. If we lose sight of that reality
for any reason they are affected most. Life’s
too short! Keep all the teachers in your
daily prayers. Students continue to
arrive on our doorsteps. That is
exciting! (221.5)
