A few thoughts

This is the last day i will be in Stevens Point for a week, so i figured i'd better write something. I've been lamenting the loss of being able to read many of my favorite authors. I just got an assignment for readings tomorrow for a staff conference in Madison. I have been keeping up with reading, but i have 2 more books to get cracking on by the first week in November. For Christ and the University and How to Read the Bible for all it's Worth are the other books that have to get read.
The coming week is training in Madison and visiting some supporters and hopefully meeting with some new ones. Joanna and i will also go together to La Crosse for some appointments and a bridal shower for her, so i hope to see many of you while we are there this coming weekend!
Being gone means this is the first week for the vision team to function without a staff, but they are more than capable. It also means no musky fishing with all the IV guys, but we got another one yesterday so we are up to 18 in the canoe this year. I'm feeling pretty good about reaching my goal of 22 by mid-November.
In other news, we sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in church yesterday, and it is a scary and amazing song. God's wrath and justice and truth are all attributes that make up what we call God's glory. Singing the verses to that song and the chorus of "Glory, Glory Halleluiah" was a humbling thing to think about.
