People like my little brother. My little brother is a brilliant mechanic with a huge heart for God. I tear up every time I think about how much he has grown as a Christian man in these last years. He is currently a mechanic among other things at a camp in Colorado. Apparently he has decided to try and keep a blog.
Also, I have found it quite amusing that on the rare occasion I sub in an elementary classroom, the students seem to be quick to notice that I'm "not from around here." I even had a second grader who guessed me to be from Texas. Of course, that could be the only place she knows of as people having accents, but who knows. The younger kids also get a huge kick out of my last name and the fact that I am quite tall.
In other news, the study of Leviticus the last couple of weeks has been quite wonderfully knowledge-full. I in the past have brushed off Leviticus as the book with all the purity laws and details about the offerings. While I knew the connection between Christ's death and the offerings, there are quite a few other New Testament and Christ connections I have been challenged to think about. Also, there is much to learn about leadership and the heavy responsibility that comes with ministry for God.
Also, please be praying as I start the process of applying for a full-time teaching job for next year and for God's provision come the summer when I won't have any subbing jobs. Thanks be to God that Josh's job, or the moment at least, is secure despite the layoffs happening in the company. However, they were informed that the late raises will not be happening this year. This decade is going to be interesting for the history books in 50 years if the world lasts that long :-)
and finally yay for today, the release of The Fray's second album! I am currently listening and the long wait was worth it.
