Well, this past week has been a doozy....the social and sports spheres have been going full blast, and we've been give our first exam, assignments, etc. So everything is coming to a head all at once. I don't even know where to begin....i suppose at the beginning of the week. Dr. Leeland's lectures are quite pertinent, practical, and perniciously pugnacious!
He emphasizes impacting the culture. To do that we must first understand it, the messages hurled at us all, and the worldview implications implicitly and indelibly imprinted on such media products and messages. Have i mentioned i'm on an alliteration kick? You guys should see my notes. Anyway, i have to go prepare for war [raquetball, which i have not lost yet :)], so this is going to be a short post. But I must throw a few things out there...this has been a most adventurous week...both in the classroom and out. I had a meeting mid-week that altered the course of my life forever. I have anticipated it and prayed for it for months, and it happened without any initiation of my own...truly a 'God-only' event [and i am reluctant to use that terminology]. This has opened up new possibilities and spurned me on towards them--and each of them involves a higher level of spiritual and intellectual challenge than anything previous. It is as if God keeps whispering 'you're getting warmer, keep coming....getting warmer,' in the game of 'hot and cold,' if you will.
Yeah, so i had more FUN Thursday than i've had in a day in quite a while. We had a dress-up dinner with everyone at the Founder of FFI's house! I came as part of group of those dressed in Native Indian garb....quite fun! The pictures are great. The entire evening was a blast, and i even won a door prize. Then i lost my phone afterwards....and was detained with a friend for more than half an hour at the entrance of the Air Force Academy [its a long....and hilarious....story!]. In the midst of this my phone was located. So I thanked God for that.... and not getting arrested or something. And we went camping yesterday, saw some wild antelope and had a great bonfire time with just the guys. Pure testosterone for a day....great male bonding, though. I'm going to rest up, possibly make a day trip to Denver tomorrow to reconnect with an old law-firm friend, and be locked and loaded for another great week of half-worldview training, half-relational emphasis. We shift mid-week into Roc & Bev Bottomly's class on marriage and family. And we get to hang out with Del when he gets back from his rafting trip in the Grand Canyon....good stuff!
