Ok, so I am not physically running around like a chicken with my head cut off, it just feels like it some times. Actually, this past week went fairly well for me. I did find myself wrapped up in the busyness of school (and everything else – including working on planning a trip to Haiti over my December break from classes). I finally took a few minutes tonight to try and set up my xanga page in a manner that seems to me to be a bit more aesthetically pleasing… what do you think?

As I mentioned, it is easy for me to get wrapped up in doing “stuff”; legitimate stuff to be sure, but how easily I lose my focus! I long for my life to be a part of fulfilling the verse that I placed in the header; that my life would contribute to putting Christ in the primary place! I believe that it is fitting for every child of God to strive to bring honor and glory to Christ in all that he/she does. I press towards this, and by the grace of God my life will become more and more a continuous act of worship.

In case you are wondering, yes, my thoughts in this entry are a bit scattered, but if you are taking time to read this then I hope you don’t mind a little rambling. But since I talked about hither I will also tell you about yon. I meet with a CMDA (Christian Medical & Dental Association) small group for a Bible study on Monday nights. We have been going through a curriculum that was written by a local Christian Dr. here in Memphis. We currently have only one lesson left in the series we have been doing, so we are beginning to discuss what we want to do next. There are 5 guys (besides myself) that meet together in this group, and we have had numbers of profitable discussions. It seems that missions have been an underlying theme of all of our studies, even starting with the night that we first gathered together just to become acquainted with each other. In any case, I hope that these meetings are helping each of the guys to grow, to take their walk with God seriously, to consider that this vile world is not a friend to grace, and to press on as good soldiers for Christ.

The hour is growing later, and I have not yet figured out how to have 36 hour days so I will stop writing here.
