SO Busy!

When I look at the last month, it's amazing how busy i've been, especially considering that I don't think I have that much going on right now. The main two things keeping me busy have been planning our move to Greenville and Writing our summer curriculum for an in depth Ephesians Study. The Ephesians study has been a great experience for me. Aside from the fact that I enjoy teaching the bible, the curriculum development has been especially challenging. I'm putting in about 8 hours of study a week on the section that is covered. That probably isn't enough, but it's all I have time for. That being said, I'm getting to read through commentaries, use Bible Works as well as a large bit of NT stuff from Seminary in a real ministry setting. It's way more fun to study and create for a ministry than for a class. The challenge has been to avoid getting caught in the numerous textual/grammatical issues presented in the text to the point that the message is lost. I want to challenge our students with a deep look at the book, but not to the point of overwhelming them and losing the focus of the text. The move...it's coming along. We'll be off to South Carolina mid-July. I've also got a wedding update, but I'll save that for later in the week.
