His Enduring Promise

This week has been quite a week. My father was admitted to the hospital, again and his frailness overwhelmed me. I spoke with him today and while he sounded better I still am struck with the sense that he might not be around much longer. I feel like I am only starting to know my father and I have this sense that I need to take advantage of every chance I have with him. I felt the same way when looking at my grandparents this week. These people who I love and who love me more than I realize are getting old and will some day die. Have I told them lately that I loved them? Do my loved ones all have an assurance of my love? More importantly, do they all know about the amazing love available to them through Christ? We are mortal but His love endures forever.

Life Is So Uncertain and So Good

As I think back over my last week I try to decide if it is one that I would relive. It reminds me of a discussion that I had with a friend of mine. I asked him what event in history he would change. His answer was none because everything is intertwined. You can't just change one thing. It is such a great reminder that God uses everything for His glory. Even our own awkward activities.

A Little More Info

I am a graduate student working on soybeans. I will probably be writing quite a bit about soy along with research life and maintaining a life in graduate school.
