I'm going to have restricted or no time this weekend to be here. Why? Well, we are having a Flood the Five conference and I will be Apprenticing (AKA, "slave labor". It's a blast.) We'll also be hosting several people in our home, so I'll be pretty busy.

Also, I'll probably be spending a bit less time on here because the end of the school year is coming up, and I have finals and projects. I should still be around some, though. I should be totally back May 9. :)

Blessings,
Shawn

That sounds like a wonderful opportunity - er, that is to say, enjoy your "slave labor" :D .

Ah, yes, and finals *shudders* . They'll exterminate us yet... :P

Have a fabulous time, Shawn! Hey, you could use your apprenticing/slave labor experience as inspiration for your book! :rofl:

I hope finals go well for you!

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

I'm back! I missed you guys a ton. :D

You guys are hilarious, you know that? :D I had an amazing experience at the conference. I got to do some of everything there: speaking, teaching, working, cleaning, setting up, breaking down, brainstorming, talking, eating (no trouble there ;)), laughing, and pouring into the lives of some really awesome kiddos. (Plus, I got to talk about HW with some friends! :D )

As for finals, history is out of the way. I have two more next week, and then I will be DONE! :D

Finals are now OVER! I still have to do some work this week, but it is significantly lighter. :D Thanks for praying, y'all. It's good to be back. :D

(Happy birth day, Elanor! :D )

Welcome back, Shawn! Good to hear you had a great time at the conference, and Woot! Congrats on finishing finals! That must be a stress reliever. ^^

It is! We just had our ICC presentation today too, so I'm thrilled. I love it, but it's nice not to have things hanging over my head.

Weirdly enough, I loved my history final. It was a blast! I even got research for Shattering the Dark taken care of while I was in class. :D
