So my buddy Uri has decided to list me in his 'friends' blogs' section of his blog... great, now I actually have to write something here from time to time. ;) j/k man.

The thing which weighs the heaviest on my mind right now is the responsibility that teachers have. Having just been asked to help TA for ITS this semester has really brought this to bear. I know, I know, I've been teaching sunday school for the past two years, but for some reason the academic setting is more intimidating to me. Perhaps it is because seeing the Bible as the source of life and drawing application from that comes naturally (somewhat) to me now, but having to digest all of the authors, their views, and the purpose of the course as a whole in order to teach this to others is a bit overwhelming. And so it is that the thought comes to mind that I must place all things under Christ and he will provide the neccessary strength to do what he has called me to do. Though I must say that if I feel this way from just a TA'ing gig I can't imagine how I will feel when the time comes for me to be a pastor... yeah... I let that thought lie until it bites me in the butt.

until then...
