Pray without ceasing

The school semester is running at full speed and I already have an idea of my summer schedule which is most likely going to consist of 3 classes in a 4 week period. With the course requirements and preparational reading, I'm sure I've bitten off a little bit too much at once but it will allow me to graduate in December and not get caught with one class in a semester to finish. It will be even more tricky with VBS falling on one of those weeks and the VBS Director has her hands full and I can't say no when she needs something considering we are married.

We have some opportunities and events that are going to allow us to visit in TN in the future as well. We've been invited to lead a college ministry retreat in Rogersville on April Fool's weekend... I know what you're thinking but that's just the weekend that worked best. We will also be in that area again in October to take part in the wedding of our friends Joel and Kimberly, although this trip will probably be more brief.

Our meeting with the Mormon missionaries went very well and we appreciate all your prayers. Amazing as it sounds, we have a third meeting with them next Friday as well. We've covered key areas of difference between Christianity and Mormonism and are going even further in depth next week so please continue to lift them and us in your prayers.

It has been wonderful getting to focus more on my studies this semester. It has also provided more opportunity to pray and prepare for our next step after seminary, although we won't begin actively exploring until later in the summer. Again we appreciate your prayers for that as well. If there are any specific ways we can be praying for you, feel free to post and let us know or e-mail us if it is more private. We miss you all and hope to see you in the near future.

"Because Your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise You"
