These days I’ve been neglecting this blog like it’s my sister. Things have gotten slightly busier as of late with the school year in full swing. In addition to heightened ministry responsibilities and an increased schedule of meetings, I’ve been preparing messages for CCM (on “The Wrath of God”; don’t ask me how I get assigned topics like this) and Berean. As a result, I haven’t had a ton of time for leisure reading or for blogging but I hope to return to it when things settle down a bit next month.
My hair is disgustingly long. I lost a game of Scrabble to James Lee and so I won’t be cutting it for another couple of months. Not even for a trim. I seriously fear what it’s going to look like. Thankfully, I’m able to cover it up by wearing my Angels cap and concealing the Chia Pet-style mane that’s beginning to grow. As long as they don’t get knocked out of the playoffs, I can go on using my handy red hat as a means of shielding and protecting others from seeing the abomination that is my hair.
College group is growing. Fast. Lots of people. Lots of souls to care for. Please pray that God would grant me wisdom by His Spirit and a growing grasp of His Word to minister adequately to all of them, and to any others that are entrusted to my care. I’m very blessed with the privilege of helping to lead this group.

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” (1Tim. 2:1-2)
And more than for reconciliation amongst fellow countrymen and other nations, pray for Iran to be reconciled to God through the peace-making blood of Christ.
