I say I'm going to slow-down.
I don't.
I just shared with me wife that today I did all of the following today:
- Communicated with a colleague about the possibility of 1 or 2 shared book projects for he and I to write.
- Collaborated with three colleagues on our grant proposal in progress.
- Taught two sections of Hebrew, instead of my scheduled one, because I've got one student who is so bright and far-advanced, she deserves her own time slot to keep moving.
- After days of planning to get the right tools, worked with our youngest daughter on a pallet deconstruction and salvaged wood project.
- With our other daughter, painted two of the four walls in her room - the kilz base-coat - so more work to happen soon. (Also taught her painter tricks on how to not spill, reuse brushes, clean and dry brushes, and a few other tricks of the trade.)
- Collaborated with another colleague and 2 potential artists to draft sketches of 10 archealogical finds for his School's publishing project.
- Contacted a pastor in the Northwest about some future work I hope to connect on
- Made dinner for our family. (Started the crock-pot at before 8:00 a.m - and had dinner on the table when my lovely Bride finished a few things in her busy day).
- Graded 12 exegetical papers.
- Advised and enrolled two students.
And, it's a bit past midnight and I'm tired.
In celebration that 'Christ is Risen, Risen Indeed,' I am reminded that
we who proclaim this must discern that our life's personal &
community existence should reflect & embody the character &
quality of discipleship life that participates in the life of Jesus.
