here's a blog, this is where i am right now.

john stott says
the highest of missionary motives is neither obedience to the Great Commission (important as that is), nor love for sinners who are alienated and perishing (strong as that incentive is, especially when we contemplate the wrath of God...), but rather, zeal--burning and passionate zeal--for the glory of Jesus Christ...

wow. so do we really have a burning, passionate zeal for Christ? it's a question i'm asking myself this very moment. it's actually very humbling. to think that all of the ministry that is done today. how much is done for the Glory of Jesus Christ? unpack that for a bit... then get back to me. if anyone reads this.

i finished the gospel according to tony soprano. it's a good book, but you have to read with an open mind, and by that i mean there is stuff to get through to get to the meat of what he is talking about. if you want to read it drop me a line.

so i start school with kids on wednesday. maybe this will be my last first day of school. at least that's what i'm praying. i hope to walk away at the end of the year, but that will only be God willing. He is good.

have a good one.
