Church Hoppin’

I was invited to preach today and next Sunday at Woodlawn Baptist Church in Lebanon, KY.  Sweet, little congregation over in the next county.  We had about 80 in services this morning and 20 this evening. 

It was interesting being back in a smaller, rural church setting.  I haven’t done that in quite sometime.  You forget was it is like to only see 80 faces.  At Main Street, one small group Bible study could be more than their whole evening attendance. 

But our time together was enjoyable.  I think they were bit overwhelmed this morning with my preaching style, but they were much more comfortable and open this evening.  I am looking forward to next Sunday.

We also attended Campbellsville Baptist Church this morning in their early worship service.  A great time of praise and hearing God’s word clearly preached.  This is our second visit to CBC’s early service.

First Day on the Job…Yeah Right

Officially, I started today at Campbellsville University.  August 1 was supposively my first day in the office.  Classes start August 20.  In reality, I have been in the office everyday for about the past two weeks.  I have been working furiously to get all my class preparation completed before students arrive.  How they expect a new prof to be prepared in such a short amount of time, I don’t know.

But so far, so good.  If you want to see what I have been up to, take a look at these mindmaps for two of my classes.  (Thanks Pastor Bob for getting me introduced to mindmapping.  It is really coming in handy.)

You will have to zoom-in on the pdf files because they print kind of small when everything is opened up.  And if you happen to be one of my students, please don’t look at these.  I want the class material to be a surprise.
