Way too long

Sorry about the apparent disappearance. The Blog has slipped our minds because of the start of the new semester and related ministries. Kim and I are leading a homefellowship through our church on Tuesday nights. There are about 10-12 people and 6-8 kids. As you might guess, this is not held in our small apartment but at another family's house about an hour away. So Tuesday nights are consumed by this ministry. We don't even have time for dinner, but the hosts of the fellowship have food ready for us whenever we arrive. We usually get there with enough time to sit down with the family for the meal. I find that that is the best way to start off the evening. We are using the Purpose Driven Life book as our weekly launching off point into the biblical principles contained in each chapter. Kim is also leading a women's small group her in our apartment building with an out 10 other seminary wives. That is held in our apt so I find my way up to the library on Thurs nights. I am also leading a men's soul care group in our building on Thurs mornings. We call them soul care groups b/c we are not studying the bible or going through a book, but rather are spending time praying together and checking in on one another, encouraging each other toward spiritual maturity. In addition, I have four classes, which I am working through. So that in a nut shell is what our week looks like. We are looking forward to a roadtrip next weekend with Joel and Allie back to Hillsdale for our 5 year class reunion at homecoming. You can bet there will be a blog about that. More than likely, until then...
