Fridays

Today is a slow day, with only one class and the weekend approaching, we take a little time to sit and do house hold things (like shopping for thanksgiving food, yay!). In the busy life of a 21st century American, it is always good to stop and take time to remember God and to rest in Him. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy, for you were slaves in Egypt and God brought you out to give you rest. Whatever day, whatever moment we have, we take and remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Sabbath, our rest and we can trust and rely in Him.

Learning to Not Complain

Sometimes it is extremely easy to understand how the Israelites felt wandering around on the desert, worried more about food than standing in absolute wonder of the God of the Universe who went before them. So often today, thousands of years later, I hear Christians (myself included) talk about how they have to take every speck before the Lord, and seek Him for every need, every pain, every decision.

At times when money seems short and the road is too long, I remind myself to approach God with a sense of love and longing that reflects the fact that I am part of His bride, the church. As ACC goes forward with educating people to see the Hand of God in our lives, we need to remember to appreciate Him and the fact that the God of the Universe goes before us.

The Value of Education

Today we went to see the African Children's Choir perform and I was struck by the need of good education for reform in any nation. The Music for Life Organization, the parent organization for African Children's Choir, is involved in educating many students, giving them support through high school and college until the students can make an impact on Africa with their lives. Watching the promotional videos for Africa Children's Choir greatly encouraged me to know that Albion Christian College can make an impact in many generations, across many nations, by training up teachers.

Online matters

Albion Christian College now has a Twitter account. For people who want more up to the second info on goings on here in southern Idaho, the Twitter account is albionchristian.

Also, I have formed a Facebook group for Albion Christian College. I have not yet decided how to use these tools to their full advantages, any ideas would be welcome.

Challenging Thoughts on the Election

Renae has written an excellent piece for keeping perspective in the election season here. Renae points us to the God of all nations who is guiding us with His swift sure hand.

Working, Working, Working

Albion Christian College has a facebook group now, as well as being on Twitter. I hope to be able to keep people up to date accurately and timely as we do ministry, have classes, do fundraising, open online courses and other mediums of communication over long distances. Stay tuned!
