I’m on a journey. I feel compelled to apologize to the congregation members who suffered through my preaching all these years – this is something I should have done some time ago, and yet it feels like the time is right.

Dr. Rev. David Smith is my guide right now and he’s lecturing 8 hours a day.  My goodness I would be exhausted but he seems to gain energy from our presence and interaction. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Isaiah, Genesis, back to Mark and Luke, over to the Revelation and now to Daniel. It is exciting to be part of this journey.

So far my marks reflect that I’m doing well and seem to be producing papers that are close to the mark. That’s important to me only because that’s the part I don’t like. I’ve audited courses in the past just so I didn’t have to write the papers…but now that I write proposals and presentations on a regular basis at the office perhaps I’m growing more adept at this.

So tomorrow is day 4 – at the end of which we will have had 32 hours of instruction.  My brain is a bit exhausted…but what joy I am finding at the same time.

And to think I put this off for 10 years.

What are you putting off?
