Busy Busy

I'm busy. Need a lot to get done and little time to do it. Please Pray everybody for the next few days. A lot is going on and going a lot of places and doing things in the dorm to prepare to leave. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Preparations

Well, here I am once again with news. I completed my final course here at MBBC until the Fall of 08. It was not a final just to let you know because I finished my finals last Wednesday. It was the course Biographies of Great Missionaries. It was our final book report.

The class started out with Mr. Greer saying its finals week and so if you just want to hand in your reports, you can, and you may leave. I said I had no finals and well, everyone else did. We all stayed though. I read my entire book report and the others summed up theirs.

I just got back from Wal-Marts and well I bought just a few things for the up-coming white glove inspection. I also bought another container because I have a lot of stuff to store away. I also bought sticky mouse traps.

I bought those snapping kind but they get away with the peanut butter and the trap is snapped without the mouse. So this sticky stuff works from what I hear. I'm trying to catch them before I leave so I don't have a infested dorm in the fall.

Dr. Hitchen's Retirement party was a blast! I enjoyed it a lot. I got my wish. My wish was to hear the Gospelaires in person. The group was together in the 70s, 80s, and maybe early 90s. I have one of their CDs and it was just great to hear them live. Dr. Hitchens is part of the group. He is an amazing guitar player. It was definitely a highlight in this college year.

Well, I best be going. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Same Old Same Old

Well, finals has kicked off with Major Prophets and Comparative Religions. Of course the students in Comparative Religions are done already. The students in Major Prophets have a 40 question final that is open Bible. Open Bible is usually tougher though. I forget how many questions we had but it wasn't so bad. I didn't know everything but I studied to the best of my ability. I believed I passed this final.

I have one more final and thats it. That final is Soteriology. The study of Salvation. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not as worried about that one as I was Comparative Religions. I'm also preaching in Chapel today. It seems to always do that, everything falls on one day. Thats how it is I guess. So I need to go and study for my message and look over my outline and study for my last final until the Fall Semester.

For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

This Is It

Well, here I am again. My first day of finals is this Wednesday. My last day of finals is this Wednesday. Don't ask me how I did it but I did. I'm looking forward to it. I'm also preaching this Wednesday too. I need to get going on my message for this Wednesday. It will be my last message until the Fall Semester.

Anyways, update time. The recital went well. I messed up but people said I covered it up well. I was thankful for that. I didn't play it perfect but I made it through. I enjoyed it very much though. Everyone else did a fine job as well. Some better than others and some worst that others.

The Junior Church Activity was a lot of fun. The children had a great time. We sang, played games, ate hotdogs, and played more games. It was a fun time with Junior Church Children.

Paintball was awesome. I'm glad we were able to go. Everyone had a great time doing it. I needed a good time out of the dorm. I've been living in there since August. Anything away from the dorm is an approval on my list.

Looking forward to be going home. I'll be home the 20th of this month. I'm looking forward to it. For His purpose, Shane Gordon.

Thank-You and thats the way the cookie crumbles

Well, I would like just to say thanks to everybody that prayed for this recital that will be taking place tonight. I have my piece memorized and I am currently at the moment playing it correctly. Hopefully I can keep it that way until tonight. We have rehearsal this afternoon. Hopefully I don't blow it then.

Its going to be a busy weekend. Friday, which is today, is kicked off with recital, Saturday is the Junior Church activity. I will be heading up an activity game for them that day. Than a couple hours after that is over, Isaiah, Mikey, and I are going to the Crews' place (Mr. Crews is a deacon of the church) for paintballing. That will be from 4 to 9:30pm. It is going to be a lot of fun. I've been looking forward to it.

Well, I've got nothing else to do but to practice for the recital tonight. I should do fine. It always seems though I get my piece corrected the day of and a few alterations are made. Oh well, I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

For His purpose, Shane Gordon.
