Whew\u2013I spoke three times today and par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpat\u00aded in a reli\u00adgious dis\u00adcus\u00adsion group! I\u2019m a lit\u00adtle drained. Worst of all was that my first engage\u00adment was two hours away, and I only had about two hours between my first and sec\u00adond appoint\u00adment (which was back here at Stan\u00adford)! We real\u00adly had to book it.<\/p>\n
For\u00adtu\u00adnate\u00adly, we\u2019re at the end of a busy sea\u00adson. Last week\u00adend I was in Spring\u00adfield help\u00ading to script a minis\u00aderies (no, real\u00adly) that Chi Alpha is going to burn onto CDs and dis\u00adtrib\u00adute to col\u00adlege stu\u00addents all across Amer\u00adi\u00adca. I got back and went to preach in Modesto that Sun\u00adday. Mon\u00adday Paula and I drove up to the Lake Men\u00addo\u00adci\u00adno sec\u00adtion\u00adal fel\u00adlow\u00adship, and today I had all those speak\u00ading engage\u00adments\u2026 *whew*<\/p>\n
That makes it almost two months that Paula and I have been run\u00adning around like chick\u00adens with our heads cut off. It was real\u00adly start\u00ading to affect my speak\u00ading: I\u2019d say that none of the pre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtions I gave today were A\u2011quality. They were all B\u2011range. Soon I should be able to recharge and do bet\u00adter.<\/p>\n
I feel kind of guilty. I should be a bet\u00adter mod\u00adel for my stu\u00addents, but this sea\u00adson of hec\u00adtic activ\u00adi\u00adty was pret\u00adty much nec\u00ades\u00adsary\u2026 *sigh*<\/p>\n
Oh well, at least it\u2019s over (I think).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
