The Final Stretch

Well, I think I am at the last 200m of the race. This is where I push myself to the finish line whether its going to hurt or not. Running a long distance race is hard work and there is a lot of training before the race...Now that I'm thinking about it...I have been training and have not been in a race. I'll be leaving college and this place for the summer to go home in May. This is where we are put to the test.

Its easy being a holy and righteous Christian here in college. But will we act the way we act around here back home? To make the application it says this in Luke 18:8, "I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

If you think about it, it is almost like a statement and not a question. Will the Lord find us faithful when we, the college students of MBBC, leave for home where it is so easy to fall into sin of laziness, not studying, not witnessing...will He find us faithful? Is that a statement or is that a question?

May we finish our training here strong and run the race out in the real world strong and finish the race strong. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Prayer Request

Hey everybody!! Just wanted to ask everyone to pray for the Spring Recital. I'll be playing in it and my piece is kinda hard. We have to have the piece memorized. Well, I have one part of it memorized and its next Friday!!!!!

The whole Recital is a Mozart theme. I'll be playing 18th Century Garden (Sonata in C) along with Come Thou Fount as my hymn. I have the Mozart piece memorized and part of Come Thou Fount memorized. The conclusion is weird, I think I'm butchering it though. I'm enjoying it though. If I play my piece everyday until next Friday, I'll have it memorized.

Like I said, I have most of it memorized but please pray that I'll do my best and honor the Lord with this piece. I'd appreciate it. Thanks. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

p.s. Ducks Rule!!!

Holy Crusted Metal Batman!!

Hey!! Well, what do ya think of my title? I couldn't think of anything and that is what came to my mind. It'll grab peoples' attention. Well, I've started on my last paper of this year. It is a thousand word paper. It is for the class Comparative Religions. I'll be writing on Sikhism. It started in India and that is all about what I know so far.

I'll know more this afternoon after I'm done with this post. The guys are planning on going to Cabella's the 14th of May. Hopefully, our dean of men will allow us to. He is thinking about it right now. We want to go the day of White Glove. We would be able to finish the night before, talking about our white glove jobs, we can get them done the night before and than just do touch ups on our jobs and than head to Cabella's. We're not allowed to be in the dorm during white glove inspection because a lady of the church will be inspecting.

I only have one more book to read for Biographies of Great Missionaries. I've read 4 books and so I'm enjoyed them all so far. My last will be about David Livingstone. I've read about George Muller, The Three Mrs. Judsons, William Carey, and Hudson Taylor. George Muller was good but the chapters were too long and so I couldn't concentrate as good. Three Mrs. Judsons was good, chapters were short and so I understood what I was reading. William Carey was not inspiring at all, at least the book wasn't. Hudson Taylor was an excellent read, I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully, David Livingstone works out.

Anyways, for His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Boo Ya!!

Well, the weekend has officially begun...well...for me that is. Some students still have classes today. I would like to say that I have never had a class on Friday ever since I've been here. My very first semester I never had a class on Friday and I liked it so much that in the next semester I avoided a class on Friday. So far it has been a tradition. But my tradition might come to an end this coming fall semester. The way classes are going to fall this Fall but you just never know. I might get lucky and not have a class on Friday.

We are headed for Shady Maple this afternoon. I'm looking forward to it. Well, I better go. I need to get my dorm job done and do some reading before head for Shady Maple. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

On To Victory!!!

Hey!! Well, this is it. All the projects seem to be within the same couple of weeks. Than after they're pretty much done, its finals time. I'm not too worried about the finals because I won't be having a final in Expository preaching because I am carrying an "A+" and so I will be having two finals a week and a day before graduation. Therefore, I will not have any finals the week of graduation!!! Why, you ask?

I have had two seminars and seminars are one week classes. That makes 4 credits. I have piano and that makes one credit. I have Biographies of great Missionaries and there are no midterms or finals in that class. There is only reading books and doing book reports on them. That makes 3 credits from that. Than my Wednesday classes, Comparative Religions and Soteriology. Together, those make 5 credits. Expository is two credits. All together is 15 credits.

Finals start a week a day before graduation. Which is Wednesday. I only have one day of finals. The Lord is truly good to me. I only need 27 credits to graduate after this semester. So I will begin to start planning out my senior year this summer once I get the classes that will be offered next semester.

Well, better get going. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

WOW!!!

Well, the module is over and all I have to is put my notes into my syllabus and hand it in to Dr. Straughan. Not much is happening. Just hanging in there until the end. Projects are slowly coming off my project list to be done. Thats what I love about making a projects to be done list. I scratch off a project every time I finish one and I become less stressed every time I scratch one off because it looks like its getting easier as I go along in this Spring Semester.

Anyways, I'm going to go. I know its short but thats the way it is down here. School, eat, sleep, play basketball, and do it all over again. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.
