Change in routine

Today was an unusually warm day for February. In Warrensburg it was in the 60’s! I decided to walk on campus and spend some time outdoors. As I made my way to the benches in front of the Union I saw one of my old professors sitting and eating lunch with a couple of other professors. I stopped and said hi. We discussed some of my old classmates and where they are now and what they are up to. I told her some of what I have been doing at CCH and how I love it. We said our good-byes and I moved along.

 I found and empty bench and took The Screwtape Letters, my notebook, and a pencil out of my bag to start reading and writing notes for the community group members to discuss. I got about a chapter read before one of my friends, Jenna, passed by. She was headed inside the Union to get some cake. Apparently for 18 years now the university has had a 90% employment rate after graduation. So what better way to celebrate, then by giving its students free cake! I followed her inside. We each picked up a piece of chocolate cake and found a seat on a sofa.

Jenna told me she has been reading Leviticus, where God lays out the laws He wants the Israelites to follow. The more she read and studied the more she learned the things the Israelites were required to do in themselves had no significance but because God had commanded them was what made the acts worship to Him. We questioned and discussed why God set so many rules and how it is different from today. Beth Moore says, “Relationships are the goal of regulations.” In the Old Testament not everyone could have a relationship with God, but today it is possible.

Support Raising

I wanted to thank Raytown Christian Church for letting me come and speak with them this past Saturday. I had the opportunity to show a presentation about what I am doing as an intern at CCH to about 40 adults in my Grandpa and Grandma’s Sunday school class. There was a great response to what I had to say. I had a great time telling more people about the work I am doing. I hope to meet with more small groups and individuals in the future.
