Well the school semester is over. The grades are in the books and I am pretty proud of how it ended. I didn't do the best I've ever done on final exams and in fact I'm a little disappointed with my performance in that area but alas they are dead and gone and so too shall school before long. Well overall I got four B's and one A. My A was a perfect score in the class which I am quite fond of. The other classes the ones with B's I wish I had done a little better in a couple of them and I feel as if I had just tried a little harder I could have had three A's and two B's but I put in the effort I did and so it comes to a close as it did. Well that is about all for the school stuff I guess. Just have 24 credits left until I graduate and I am looking to fulfill all of that by May with a lot of hard work and maybe a little time spent playing to keep me sane!
Lets see. There are only three more days until Christmas. I'm not so overly excited about this as I would have once been as a child. I think in my age, albeit I am only 23, I have learned that Christmas is not the holiday children love so much. Christmas is supposed to represent a time of giving to others and bringing joy. Christmas is after all that time of year where we celebrate Christ coming (I recently blogged about the Christmas story if you haven't yet check it out). That gift being the reason we celebrate Christmas, God gave Himself to us as a baby to overcome the dark powers of sin and death and the powers of this world which would punish people for love. Yet it is at Easter (I will blog about this when it is appropriate so check in again at least at Easter) that we celebrate the second gift the Christ gives us, His life. I don't have much more to say about Christmas my recent post about the Christmas story contains about all I would have to say about it with the exception of that I hate that as a country we living in the USA have forgotten that Christmas is about giving (sacrifice) and love which brings joy. Instead we now have a holiday for consumerism but perhaps I will blog about that another time...
Last of my thoughts, I think, White House has been planned for the January meetings prior to the return of our full leadership team. We will be talking about loving people the way Christ loves them. This talk will cover two bigger topics Forgiveness and Serving. These two will be tied into loving people the way Christ did and when it comes to a close I will introduce our group to another topic which brings the Jan Term talks together with the Spring Semester talks. I want to spend the semester talking to them about the kingdom of God and our participation in it. All will hopefully tie together by the end and I hope that when the semester comes to a close and things change that we will have made an impact on them that stays for the rest of their lives. Well I think I've rambled on enough. Grace and Peace. One love.
