Greetings,
At long last a full week, no cancellations, as I returned to Dixon and a second week at Sheridan. Though the classes are averaging on the smaller side, about 20 each, one student pointed out that there are no side talkers, which does allow for more focus and participation for those who are there.
To Him be the glory!

Toby - Please pray that the Spirit of God will illuminate the mindset of two of the more serious minded believers here to the doctrines of grace and produce in them a humility that causes them to serve and in turn glorify God. They're both currently looking at the doctrines of total depravity and on unmerited election. Please pray that God will continue to help me pick up the wreckage and debris left behind in the wake of my addiction.
Marcel - Prayer request; strength, hope, honesty, courage, structure and honor. Pray for me.
Andre - Special prayer for my fears, thank you.
