Projects Ahead

Recently a friend of mine posted how far he has been able to work through his project list on his new home since he moved. He had accomplished much in a relatively short time. It made me think how much I don't really think in terms of lists of projects. But I am learning. I have a couple left on my summer 'honey do' list. And I'm thankful that even though I am back at school, summer isn't officially over for several more weeks. I may make that one yet. I used to say that I like to be spontaneous, but many times that was a mere cover for being afraid of not getting anything done or getting it done poorly. It was more a problem in me, about me, than a positive aspect of my personality. Well, one of the little tools I have learned to help keep me accountable is a posted list, so here goes...looking at my first semester. 1. Completing my summer honey do list. 2. Working on the PastorServe website: focusing on the front page and some structure issues, with a company that can do the work. 3. Listening to long series of teaching by David Powlison about the Dynamics of Biblical Change. 4. Reading the following week's preaching text in Greek. 5. Getting into a small group with Jane. Well, there it is. I said it. Now, by the power of the Lord, I'm heading off to the fall and looking to see what He'll do that is more than I can ask or imagine! (But first back to facebook and brag up my list some!)
