Looked out my kitchen window as I got a cup of coffee and saw the frost on my car windows prompting a thought. I am glad I can stay in today, relax, blog, drink coffee, take a nap, and do more editing for my upcoming book Encounters With The Ancients.

The holidays are over and now it is just winter time. I used to say boring winter time, but following Jesus is never boring. One never knows what adventures are before us when we follow Jesus. 🙂

I have a few more days of Christmas Break left and then it is back to teaching. But there are things to do before break ends; finish my book, write a script for a short film, go to another city on Saturday for an evening of worship outreach for Ukrainians living there, and take some naps.

Confession time- I got addicted to a word game online and let it get in the way of getting things done. Time to press on from that. 🙂

I am looking forward to meeting my new students next week when my classes begin. Each quarter it is exciting for me to meet new students and get to know them. I looked at the rosters and noticed that my classes will again be a mix of diverse cultures. God has brought the world to my city.

How is your post holiday week going?

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
