Saddened.

My heart is saddened last night to hear of the passing of a warrior of Christ. Sis. Nancy Davis was an amazing woman. Unfortunately, I did not get the chance to spend much time with her, but the memory of the conversations says in my mind. Her songs, her testimony, they will last. May God help and comfort her family during this time of loss.

Wow!

That's the only word that I can say. We had a wonderful service on Campus this morning. We are in revival with David Fulton, and God is coming and meeting with us. Today, reminded me of the days of old... I sound old when I say that.. LOL... Today, God met with the High School in a special way. They were having their own revival which lasted through two of their class periods, and continued into the college revival service. God came and met with us there and it was wonderful! God is so amazing!!! I am only praying that God will continue to bless, help, and send us His amazing presence!!

I thought I'd add a quick picture to my blog at this time! This picture is a picture from our Christmas Program here at school! We had a lot of fun posing for tons of pictures! It is such fun to work with such talented young people! God has blessed our school! We are embarking on a new school year. Yesterday was our first full day of classes in the college. A new semester has begun! Now it's time to focus on the important things.... Panera... Hot Chocolate... Donuts... Cookies... Umm..... :) Really! I'm excited this year to be taking a church history class. It seems that because I'm older, or maybe because I teach college myself, I am taking this class seriously. I have almost half of my collateral already done, and... I've even picked out my term paper topic and I am already gathering information on it. I can't believe it! Today was my first day in the class and I'm already far ahead! I'm crazy! :) Well, I need to do a few things for the class I need to teach tomorrow! So I'll talk to you later!

Listen

So many different thoughts are swirling around in my mind right now. I was reading a book called Listen last night, and this book is talking about a town that suddenly has a website that is reporting some of the private conversations in the town. These conversations start a wave of hurt and pain that sweeps the whole town. People start hearing what other people think about them. The book is fiction, but I guess that it kinda made me stop and realize the power of words. It's not that I didn't understand that before, the Scripture speaks clearly of this in James, but I guess the book made me think. How much of what I say has the potential to hurt people? Do I ever think about it? I know that words hurt, I've had them hurt me, but sometimes it's easy to say things and not think about them. In these days of Facebook and Blogging, it's so easy to say something and maybe not really mean it, but you can hurt someone forever. Sometimes we say something and then tell the person you are joking, and they say that it's ok, but in reality they are hurt inside. How many times have I done that? Lord, please help me to be careful with my words, help me to watch what I say. Help me to only use uplifting words to pull others up with me, so that we may reach our heavenly goal!

Back in the Grind.

Well... I didn't post for awhile, because I didn't really have much Internet access. Christmas Vacation is officially over for me. I started back in the school library today. Not Fun :) Actually I simply need to remember that routine is good! As vacations go... it wasn't the best. I was sick a lot during this vacation. I've tried to feel better but... alas it didn't work. I did get to have a wonderful shopping trip yesterday and get some more books.... just what I need :) lol. I'll try to maybe post some pictures later! Talk to you soon!
