Apparently, I’ve been off work too long.  One full day, and I was really beat last night! 

But it was a good day, and I enjoyed seeing my colleagues and chatting with my students.  Chapel was very good.  I guess Alistair Begg’s was supposed to come January 2007, but had to postpone, and yesterday was the “make-up day” for him.  He spoke on three familiar passages (Ro 8:28-29, 2 Cor. 3: 15+, 1 John 3:1ff) to point out that God’s eternal purpose, present process, and future promise is that we are going to be like Jesus.  All our sufferings, all the joys, all the events and circumstances of life are designed by God because he has promised us that we will look like Jesus.  And he’s doing whatever it takes to ensure that we do.  Great reminder.  Nothing “new,” but oh so valuable!

Classes went well, for the most part.  Nothing too exciting to share there.  I did spend some time in my office before going home, writing some things up about Basic English and the changes I made (implementing a computer program). Kevin (chairman of the department) is going to nominate me for the Faculty Innovator of the year award.  I doubt I’ll win, but it’s nice that he thinks it worth nominating!

Today’s agenda is pretty open right now.  I must clean my kitchen floor.  I keep stepping in sticky spots, and I just can’t take it anymore!  I do have some annotated bibliographies to grade, as well.  But I’m not sure how motivated I’ll be to do that today.   Other than that…we shall see!  Happy Thursday!
