School Will Go Great!

Several of the readers of this blog are aware of the fact that I am joining the ranks of students starting a new semester. I am starting (technically: in the process of being fully accepted) a Ph.D. program in Higher Education Administration at Texas Tech. Classes start tonight and so I asked Luke to pray for me last night during our prayer time. He did and of course did so with the sweet spirit that characterizes his prayers. (I have said publicly that he is the most astute theologian of the family.)

Well, today on the way to drop him off at school, he suddenly said: "Dad, turn down the radio. I need to pray for you starting school today." And he did. And somehow I managed to see through the tears and not wreck us on the way to school.

I continue to be amazed at the way God has blessed us with such a thoughtful and deeply spiritual child. We are blessed beyond our wildest expectations and for that, I am extremely, extremely grateful. Although I am nervous about starting classes tonight, I know that it will be fine - I have been covered in sweet, sweet prayer.
