Pillars are Just Crutches

I have a class coming up that is in modular format. Meaning the whole course is lectured on in a week.

The problem is I have 3 books to read and they all say the EXACT same thing, and now looking at the week outline of the course it looks like the topics discussed in the books are going to be lectured on as well (they actually give the chapters of what book the lecture pertains to … sigh).

I’m in for a long week!

If it’s your first year of college check out these tips.  I agree with almost all of them.

I’ve discovered that blogging takes dedication and commitment.  It’s not one of those things that someone does once and has a hope for anyone to read it.  For example, I left my blog for a couple days to go on a little long weekend getaway with my wife and everyone decided to pick-up and leave!!

Crazy!

Anyways, I’m back.  I’m in school, I’m reading books that are interesting and generally in the same thrust as the blog tends to go so hopefully we can continue to have some fun.

Right now I’m reading ‘Planting Missional Churches’ by Ed Stetzer.  Good times.

Back for another year of college!  This semester I only have 3 classes, which means that I am a part time student, which means that a lot of the mandatory things that full-time students have to attend, I can skip out on.  Which I like!

I’m eager to get this all done with, I started my college journey in ‘99 so I’m finishing it 10 years after starting, ouch.  The break in the middle ate up more time than I had originally expected, but hey, life throws curve-balls sometimes.

I’m stoked about the classes that I’m taking this year!  One is Planting Churches and the other is Greek.  I’m excited about Planting Churches because hopefully that’s the direction that I would like to move in after college, and I’m excited about Greek because I would like to get my Masters and I need that language in order to do so.  I’m not too good at the language thing so hopefully doing this while I’m just part time will help me.

At the same time I need to find a job.  blah.  I don’t mind working.  In fact I consider myself a rather hard worker, however the thought of finding a job is akin (for me) to begging.  It’s like making a cold sale, I just don’t like the feeling.  So I have to think about what I want to do, find positions, revamp my resume, and go out.

So that’s where life is heading right now.
