Our church ministry class went well. I thought it was going to be quite tough as the syllabus was very strict but the prof., David Ernst, turned out to be a pretty cool guy. I really did enjoy his style of teaching as he caters to the more A.D.D. people in the group. We covered a variety of topics such as woman in ministry, spiritual gifts, the qualifications of elders, and church discipline. All I have left to do is write two more essays and I'm done for the semester. Although it's not going to be easy as I have lost all motivation to do any of this homework. I am finding all this reading and writing tough. I had a final exam today and it proved how un-academic I really am. The most prohibiting thing is of course my memory. I am getting worse at remembering things and I am really frustrated because of it. I am misplacing my stuff, forgetting events, forgetting facts, forgetting conversations with people. And no, this is not the normal forgetfulness of the average human, my memory is getting really bad. Please pray for #1 that God would give me at least some motivation to finish my work and #2 that I would be able to remember things.
I skipped church again this weekend but it was for the purpose of the Men's retreat. I worked mainly in the dishpit. There were ninety-five eighteen to seventy year old men attending this retreat so there wasn't too many dishes this time. Aside from the dishpit, I got to work on the challenge course as the take down for the zipline and the smaller of the swings. I enjoyed it quite a bit, the best part was seeing fully grown men chicken out of things that the kids would do no problem.
God Bless,
