If God Was a College Student...
20 October 2013
The girls in the ministry house gave me a birthday card with the following. It is fun!
If God was a college student...
...instead of God creating the world in 6 days and resting on the 7th, He would have put it off the night before it was due and pulled an all-nighter.
...the last supper would have been eaten the next morning - cold.
...the 10 commandments would only be 5, double spaced and written in large font.
...Paul's letter to the Romans would become Paul's email to abuse@romans.gov.
...He would not have asked the reason Cain killed Abel...they were roommates.
...He knew why Moses and his followers would walk in the desert for 40 years: they didn't want to ask directions and look like Freshmen.

After I was finished doing counseling with someone in our living room, Xavy announced as he left: "I like that man. He is good for Pops."

May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel
Seeing only Him.

May I run the race before me
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea,
Him exalting, self abasing
This is victory.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, You have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with Your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of Your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

Xavier has been trying to figure out how time works. His theory is that he is growing up and getting bigger, and the rest of us are getting littler and younger. He told Dondra that when he gets bigger, Pops and Nana (Paul's mom) and Joel and Dondra are all going to revert to being cowboys and race in the Eenie (Erie) County Fair.
