After a grueling two hour session with Drs. Akin, McDill and Bush on Friday, they gave me a high pass on my comprehensive exams. What a relief! Honestly, studying for these exams was probably the hardest thing I have ever done. Though, the sense of accomplishment is out of this world.
As many of you know, Dr. Russ Bush is battling cancer (a battle in which he will win). He voluntarily changed his chemo schedule so he could be at my orals. I cannot express my gratitude to this man. His energy level and graciousness was awesome. Continue praying for him.
Now I am off to Baltimore to catch an Orioles/Athletics game at Cameden Yards and spend a couple days with my family who has sacrificed much! Then I will be off to the Outer Banks (early May) with my wife before heading off to Zambia (May 20-30) with my church for 10 days. After Zambia then its off to San Antonio for the SBC (June 12-15) and then to Canada (July) for a church mission trip.
Please pray that I will be a good steward of my time so I can turn in my research prospectus by July. We are jam packed busy at Calvary as well. God is blessing our church! I love them…
