Back in the Saddle Again
My apologies for neglecting to post yesterday.
I'm keeping my thoughts short and simple tonight, which is certainly a break from my tendency to drone on and ramble. I packed up, said good-bye to my parents, and returned to good old Furman University this afternoon. To be honest, I was ready to come back, and I believe much of that is due to how I finished up the last semester. I'm riding a wave of confidence right now, and I hope that it'll carry over into the next couple of winter months.
I had so many things to bring back with me this time. Certainly twice as many clothes. My television set that I never got to use. A vacuum-cleaner. An answering machine. Groceries. Oy vey, Christmas will do that to you. Thank goodness for the extra storage space my Tracker provides. My Infinity would've collapsed under all that.
Oh yes. Today's church service was terrific as usual, yet bittersweet. It was the final service for Mr. Chad Eaton, our minister of recreation. He's worked at our church for over seven years, and it has been a pleasure to know a man like him. He's found a new calling for himself and his family at a church in Biltmore, and so we all wished him the best this morning. We sang some great, simple but inspirational hymns today as well, including...
Hymn of the Day: B.B. McKinney - "Have Faith in God"
Have faith in God when your pathway is lonely,
He sees and knows all the way you have trod;
Never alone are the least of His children,
Have faith in God, Have faith in God.
Have faith in God, He's on His throne;
Have faith in God, He watches o'er His own;
He cannot fail, He must prevail.
Have faith in God, Have faith in God.
Simple and to the point. Very direct in its power to inspire people. :) Hope everyone else had a pleasant Sunday!
Song of the Day: Chris Rice - "Smile"
Quote of the Day: "Chad, we want you also to have this gold coin. The church in Biltmore actually uses these for their intercessory prayer ministry groups. Just so you know, they gave me this one after I threw rocks at their window for a few hours. ::laughter::" - Randy Harling
Verse of the Day: "Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome.' So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, 'It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.'" - Genesis 32:28&30
