Back to the Ol' Grindstone

Hey! I have a few moments here to type up a storm. Just for little bit thought, then I have to go to class. I certainly enjoyed my break in Tennessee. Like always, I have delays with flights no matter how long or how short the trip will be. They always end up being 12 hour days traveling from airport to airport.

Yup, back to the Ol' Grindstone as the title says. We are back from break and this is where the rubber meets the road man. I was supposed to have a midterm today but our teacher last night had an emergency trip to the emergency room. Something to do with his esophagus(his throat).

Anyways, I also have a module this week with the renowned Dr. Forney. Anyways, wish I can write more. Gotta go. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Tennessee

Well, here I am in Tenneessee!! I'm loving it so far. I was able to come to the library with Jared Rowe. I enjoy having fellowship with him and his brother Grady. We always have good Bible fellowship together.

The country is beautiful here. The hills look like they go on forever. I once again forgot to bring my camera with me when we leave their house. Anyways, I don't have much time. So this will be short. The next time I will pr0bably post is next week when I'm back at school but now that I'm thinking about it, it might not be until two weeks. Because as soon as we get back, I'm in a seminar. A seminar is a week long class every afternoon.

Anyways, best be going. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

The Beginning of the End

The final day has come at last. Well, not the final day of the world but of Bible Conference/College Days. I really enjoyed this week. There were a lot of good challenges from the Word of God. I love J.B. Collin's messages. They are always centered around Christ and His power. I love how Chuck Cofty holds your attention and how that he preaches for us and not to us. I love how Bill Beherens tells his stories and it makes the Bible come more alive to you.

I love God most of all for His mercy and grace. I love how He shows us what is wrong with us and gives a chance to confess and forsake our sin. I love how He sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to die especially for me. I love how He shed His B L O O D on the cross to cover our sins and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness. I love how His mercy endures forever. I love how His grace is sufficient for me. I love how He is in control and knows what is ahead. I love how He can love me the chiefest of sinners. This is my favorite, I love how He saved me and I'll never forget it. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Here We Go!!

May the LORD bless this week and have mercy on us. We are heading into Bible Conference/College days. The visitors are coming one by one. We've been praying that God will bless this week and bless our visitors. I'm looking forward to it. I enjoy it every year and it is good to see God is leading new students to us. I pray for the future of this college. I pray that God will continue to bless this college for its stand.

I'm glad that my God is unchanging and that He is unable to change. I'm glad that I can come to Him and cast all my cares upon Him. I'm glad that He is always around, ready, and willing to listen. He is my God and He is my Father.

Alrighty, I'll talk to you later. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

White Glove and College Days

The days are counting down to white glove and college days. White glove inspection is tomorrow and the inspector is going to be a lady from the church. Our Dean of Men asked a lady to inspect the jobs. I guess a mother/wife will be a little tougher on us I guess. Ladies tend to pay more attention to detail too. I have the job of cleaning the North Side bathroom of the dorm. No one has been using that side and it shouldn't too hard to clean that bathroom. I am the upper classman and I got to choose which jobs to sign up for first. So I chose the job that probably will take a while but at the same time not hard because it won't be as dirty as the South Side. Ha ha ha.

College days is coming!!!! I'm looking forward to it and not looking forward to it. It is during Bible Conference and so there will be great preaching going on. If you can't make it, you can tune in on the web at www.mbcmin.org and then click on the W.O.E.L logo and the radio should turn on. The services start at 7:00pm each evening with two speakers. The Conference will start the 17th. This coming Monday. Until then, tune in next time. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Well....

Hey everybody. I'm enjoying life like I always am. Nothing really going on. I've been just looking forward to Spring Break coming up. I'll be heading to Tennessee to visit the Rowe Family. Mr. Rowe taught one class and God moved him on somewhere else. I get along with Grady, Jared, and Luke mostly. We have challenged each other with the Bible a lot. I'm looking forward to those Bible fellowships we always have after church. I'm also looking forward to seeing Tennessee.

Another State added on to my list of states I have visited. I've been to Florida, California, North and South Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Alaska. Yup, thats all of them. I would like to visit Ohio someday. I've been through Ohio but not visited.

Well, I'm going to go now. Talk again soon. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

I hope it does not rain

The weather forecast is calling for rain and today we are supposed to be going paintballing. I can't stand that. It better not rain because I haven't gone paintballing for a while and we have a visitor all the way from PA to come paintballing. Its cloudy, a bit chilly, and I can see my breathe. So right now its not looking good. I've been praying throughout the week and today that it won't rain. I really want to go. Patience is certainly a virtue.

I have a piano lesson today. I got my three hours in...in three days. Yeah, half hour on Sunday, two hours yesterday, and a half hour today. I really need to spread it out a little more. Mrs. Dow is not going to be pleased. Oh well, she will get over it like she always does. I always make a goal to spread out my practice time but I never pull through. I always pull through to get my practice time in but never spread out. I did spread it out one time. It was my first semester of piano lessons. It was my very last week of practice. Every week during that semester was in three days.

I'm preaching today in Pastor's Fellowship. I'm looking forward to it. I shouldn't of eaten breakfast. I feel very heavy right now and it effects how I preach. I have a high metabolism so hopefully by time its time for me to preach, I'll have most of my food digested. Anyways, I best be going now. Piano lesson in a matter of minutes. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Here we go again!!

Alrighty then! Hey everybody. I'm just enjoying life here down in college. I finished my book report last night for the counseling class that is due tomorrow. I have it handed in and everything. So I'm good to go on that. I am preaching in Pastor's fellowship tomorrow and I'm not there to try to impress them, the Lord just wants me to give them a simple reminder of their eternal security in Jesus Christ our Saviour. I have called it "That Ye May Know". I will be looking it over some tonight...now that I'm thinking of it, I need to revise it in the beginning. I need to once again add another verse.

I believe there is a threefold witness of security. There are a couple more but I will be just covering three of them. There is the witness of the Scriptures. There is the witness of an internal confirmation. Finally, there is the witness of an external evidence. In short, the Scriptures were given by God so we can know, the Holy Spirit that indwells us confirms to us that we know, and a true born again believer will be characterized by right living and by their life of obedience, we know. A threefold witness of security. All three are given so that ye may know.

It is a blessing to KNOW that I am saved and on my way to heaven!!! Praise the Lord!!!! For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

WOW!!

I have a book report due tomorrow and well I just finished the book today. I started reading it yesterday pretty much. All I have to do now is type a bunch of questions and answer them and then give my opinion of the book. I am going to be a lemon if you know what I mean. I didn't really like the opening statement of the book. I understand what they are saying but it doesn't really sum up what the author is trying to convey.

Not much of anything is happening this week. I think everybody is really looking forward to College days/Bible Conference and not really looking forward to it too. Then it is spring break after that week. I'm glad. I'm actually going to Tennessee for that week. I really need to get out of the dorm and take a break from this place entirely. Elkton is really boring. Its almost the same as Inuvik, there is nothing to do here. At least in Inuvik I can be creative, but here, I'm in Bible College and so my creativity is limited.
