And now I'm back... from outer space

Hello again! If you don't get the song reference in the title than just ignore my sillyness BUT there is reason for my happyness brothers & sisters!

It may have taken a while but I'm finally getting on campus part-time 16 hrs/week starting immediately!!! What an answer to prayers especially as last week I was about to loose it. Funding is at 54% - however, the year is 1/2 as long so the budget for the remainder of the year is lower. Hopefully, I can stay on campus by next fall if fundraising continues at the rate it has been. (Don't you love these financial projections?)

Anyway - I have taken this opportunity to distill my thoughts a bit more. Now that I can spend time on campus -- how should I spend it? Over the past couple days I have been thinking / praying about how to do this and where / what God is specifically wanting from me @ SLU. I've put it all into this neat little 1 page mission outline to keep me focused =).


In other news, I recently led a team @ Covenant Seminary to develop & deploy a Worship Service that stretches the Reformed PCA traditional practices toward a more post-modern / contemporary context. I was actually quite worried about it but things went very well in the end. Here are some comments from a few emails I recieved:

Thanks for the encouragement. I really benefited from the song selection and the way that you led--your introduction was so beneficial. It was a joy to work on this project with you.
-P, Seminary Student

Thanks. I thought the worship time was well done in all its aspects. I appreciate your work and leadership for chapel today.
-Prof. Z, Seminary Professor

You wouldn't be a good steward if your current and future ministry didn't allow you to exercise your gift of leading others in worship. I would like to hear your thoughts expressed in our class on Tuesday nights more often – I feel like you have much experience and would bring a lot to our discussions. Speak up and speak out brother!
-T, Seminary Student
