Aristotelian Stand-Up

I really need to be studying for my Philosophy quiz on Aristotle tomorrow, but am finding other things to do instead. I've been doing school work since 1:30 and am tired of it. I thought I would come on here to write something updating, or thoughtful, but instead I find myself babbling away. Bishop Scott Jones of the United Methodist Church spoke at our chapel service today. He preached from Isaiah 6 on calling, and I was very encouraged. I've felt called to work in the United Methodist Church for a time now, but that calling really felt concrete during my time withProject Transformation this summer. I was able to experience so many different ministries and was indeed inspired. Now I am moving on toward breaking down a part of that calling -- seminary. AHHHH! Doesn't that shock and scare you all? It does me. Checking out Perkins and Asbury at the moment. But just checking. Hmmm.

I would also ask that you would pray for my dear two year old friend, Cole Teut. He is in need of so much prayer right now. He currently has only one kidney and he has a tumor in it. He's been receiving chemo, but his family found out today that the tumor is inoperable. They do not know what they are going to do quite yet. I'd ask that you would pray for him and his family. He means the world to me and to many others. I know and declare that his sickness is not of God. God never wishes pain on his people like this. He has been so faithful in answering many of the Teut's prayers. It's moments and times like these, when we pray, that I see God's Kingdom alive and moving at a great speed on earth. News like this shatters people -- but I pray that we can stand firm for his family. I was thinking today about how when sicknesses happen to people we often are sympathetic and move on. But when we are a part of the body of Christ, this sickness does not just affect his family, it affects all of us! This is our family member that is sick and needs our prayers and help, not just our sympathy. Anyways, I'd ask that you'd pray, pray, pray for my dear friend -- brother, Cole.

Ok, now back to Aristotle I go....
