Opus 2013-134: Busy, Busy

I am coming into a very busy time.  Every area of my life is loading up.  I should be grateful that I am not going to get bored.

At school we are approaching the end of the year.  That means a lot of pointless paperwork to remind parents that the previous three progress reports that said “F” mean “F.”  We do this because the administrators don’t have the courage to tell parents, “Deal with it.”  In addition I have semester long projects coming due with all the requisite grading. 

At church the pastor is going on an eight week sabbatical.  I have the opportunity to fill in for him so I am going to be studying, writing and preaching.  I look forward to it but to do it right will take a lot of time, prayer and discipline.  I have enough old stuff I could pull out, rework and use but I want more than that. 

In Sunday School I am beginning a series on II Corinthians with the young people I am teaching.  They are always full of questions and I need to keep ahead of them.  It will be a continual challenge. 

In the blog world I am posting on two blogs.  One involves a personal commitment to post each day.  It is my devotional blog, Perpetual Proverbs.  It is part of my discipline to search for something on a daily basis that God is trying to tell me and present it to others.  That I will keep up.  It is important to my spiritual walk and I hope it is helpful to others.

Medley of Worship will continue as I have time.  I may find that I am posting items from I John, where I am preaching and II Corinthians where I am teaching but I will not abandon politics, education and general observations.  If push comes to shove, there will be days I miss.  Of course it might go the other way and I will have so much that transfers you will get tired of what I have to say.

That of course, as I have read others say, applies to both of you that are reading.

Blessings on you as we approach the summer.
