Yeah it has been a while, I know. So much has gone on this week that its been really cool, yet time consuming. I finished my NT Church paper, and have been doing all the smaller projects that Ive put off until now to do. I'm not stressed, but I could be if I don't focus and get this stuff done. I am slowly getting stuff done, and I am glad to be getting it done and having this semester be over, even though it has been a great semester. I am already working on a 20-25 page paper for next semester in my head. My discipler gave me a set of four books this week on being a pastor, it was really cool, and I am excited to go throuh them with him.
What have I been learning lately? Good question. As I will be an ACTUAL senior next semester, I have been thinking of my legacy to TIU. What do I mean to this place? People often ascribe to me humor, I'm the funny guy who makes everyone laugh. We were talking about if the 104 family took over the world who would do what, and I was the guy that made everyone laugh. I love that. I love making people laugh and lightening people's hearts, it gives me joy. But what I really want to be known for is being a true discipler, and a man of integrity and of love. I really haven't succeeded hugely in this but am getting there. And of course I can still make people laugh while being a discipler, so thats a plus. I think its a good thing to think about one's legacy, it helps us see what has become important in our lives and how we are impacting others. Whats your legacy? Email me, I'd really like to know. Peace.
