I just wanted to say hello, and let you know that I have your family in my prayers today. I think you have my email address from yesterday. Stay in touch and let me know how you and L. are getting along. Hello Josh, this is JC’s buddy Carl. I just wanted to say hello, and let you know that I have your family in my prayers today.

I feel as though I've been in a worship service or sitting, listening to someone share a moment of their devotional life each time I read your blog. Stay strong and push on!<br/><br/>Second, as one who's quickly moving towards the exit, I can truly relate to what you are sharing. There have been times when I felt as though I hadn't given my best (in the eyes of academic achievements) but then I look at the smiling faces of my growing boys as I help them with a project or in giving them a hand in finding the answer to some "earth-shattering" problem. It's also in the eyes of Jennie when I take time to help her wash the dishes or when I clean the house in the midst of an exegetical assignment. What I'm seeing is the A+ of what it's all about.... Does this make any sense?<br/><br/>Continue to care for yourself and your family, stay in the Word, and if you've got time... LOL... do a little homework.<br/><br/>Peace First, let me say thanks!

Continue to care for yourself and your family, stay in the Word, and if you’ve got time… LOL… do a little homework.

I haven't found that balance either. I still am engaging in the Jacobian wresting match that is me versus the institution. Perhaps I'm a few crests behind your wake. <br/><br/>I do hear your struggle here. My dad would simply say "you get out of life what you put into it." I think Jesus says "what you pray for, you will receive." <br/><br/>I don't know what the grade will be with your prof. but I can only imagine that your efforts mimic your heart...and that's perfection! …reader number seven, engaging you here.

I like the idea of not knowing my grades as I go through this program. I remember you telling some of this before. I like the idea of not knowing my grades as I go through this program.
