Whew\u2013I spoke three times today and participated in a religious discussion group! I\u2019m a little drained. Worst of all was that my first engagement was two hours away, and I only had about two hours between my first and second appointment (which was back here at Stanford)! We really had to book it.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, we\u2019re at the end of a busy season. Last weekend I was in Springfield helping to script a miniseries (no, really) that Chi Alpha is going to burn onto CDs and distribute to college students all across America. I got back and went to preach in Modesto that Sunday. Monday Paula and I drove up to the Lake Mendocino sectional fellowship, and today I had all those speaking engagements\u2026 *whew*<\/p>\n
That makes it almost two months that Paula and I have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off. It was really starting to affect my speaking: I\u2019d say that none of the presentations I gave today were A\u2011quality. They were all B\u2011range. Soon I should be able to recharge and do better.<\/p>\n
I feel kind of guilty. I should be a better model for my students, but this season of hectic activity was pretty much necessary\u2026 *sigh*<\/p>\n
Oh well, at least it\u2019s over (I think).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
