We’ve been having some great weather in the last couple of days. I’ve been able to enjoy it by going for a jog yesterday. My knee is still giving me problems, but I hope that by cycling through jogging, blading, and cycling for each day will help me build strength back into my legs.
I wrote my Religious Studies exam on Tuesday, so now I have just my Business Law exam and… that’s it! I graduate! Woo hoo!! However, I don’t really need this Business Law course to graduate, I have enough credits, but it will get me a Certificate in General Management, in addition to my degree.
Yay.. job search has started, I’m just perusing web sites. 680 News has commercials for TorontoJobShop.com, so I’ll check them, when I have time. Speaking of which, time is a rare commodity – it seems, or maybe I’m procrastinating a little bit. I’m tired, feeling a little near burnt out with the mountain of tasks. Or maybe I’m just enjoying a day or two of decompressing with this last exam out of the way.
I’ve been engaged in photo critiques with my Aunt Lydia, who is staying with us for several days. She’s one of my favourite aunts, probably because we share a passion for photography. I showed her photos from WYD and from the new John 4:24 photo gallery I just put up. And then I looked at the photos she had scanned. I guess I could’ve done some more photography with her if I went with everyone else to St. Jacob’s today – but I had several tasks to complete at home.
Looks like Olive Lam has her blog up. I was inspired by her quotation from the Message:
Don’t be flip with the sacred. Banter and silliness give no honour to God. Don’t reduce holy mysteries to slogans. In trying to be relevant, you’re only being cute and inviting sacrilege.
Matthew 7:6 [The Message]
I really want to get back and read the Message for some of the letters, especially Romans.
Yesterday, Henry and I had minimal success in planning for our class. I was mentally tired and distracted. However, the aims of our class is to learn about incarnational living and actually go and do it. I was feeling a little discouraged that I was not seeing the class rise up to take on the world, in Jesus’ name. Yeah, so I have huge expectations! The whole passage about the mustard seed rid me of my unrealistic expectations. If my facilitating is indeed helping sow seeds of faith, I need to realize God’s sovereignty – that in his nurturing time – these seeds will bloom into the mustard plant that will move mountains.
Well, I gotta go to fellowship now.
