Behold a new year has come

I am encouraged.

I've been teaching the new intake of students in Turabian form and style and writing skill.

Not bragging here but this may possibly be one fo the best classes I've had in a long while.

Annie, with the Wycliffe's, is all wide-eye wonder and enthusiasm, and submits her assignments way ore time.

Mark and Patrick, two "almost veterans" with SCCC, say the dardnest things in class (good things) that never fail to wake everybody up.

Charles from Indonesia is serious but cheerful.

Last night I sat in and guest taught for an hour Roland's night class on "Christian Leadership."

Always admire night class people: they are tired from a full day's activities but they want to learn.

One of their assignments was to write their own obituary or "how do you want others to remember you when you go?"

One of them, a church worker, said, "I want people to know me as the woman who taught God's Word till she died."

A guy, an accountant by day, said, "Here's a man who gave and gave and gave for Jesus."
