C.S. Lewis quote: Jesus

"God has landed on this enemy-occupied world in human form...The perfect surrender and humiliation was undergone by Christ: perfect because He was God, surrender and humiliation because He was man."

--The Case for Christianity

Preparing for the fall

I will be teaching at Grace Christian Academy in the fall. I signed the contract about a week ago. Most of my blog will deal with the experiences I have with students and the venture back into the ministry of working with teens once again. I will be continuing my writing career, of course, but the economic times make it necessary for me to have a regular income.

What a week it's been! My writing assignments have ranged from a biography to a payroll company's website to an interview with a basketball pro. It's been a busy week in the office. along with Julianne's graduation from pre-school (big time presentation: I got to visit during the "Dads and Donuts" morning!)

It's a tough row ahead in work but I am thankful we've been able to have assignments coming in. A good number of my friends are not having the same opportunities. This has been a very powerful learning experience for us all.

Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.

- St. Augustine
