Excitement

Well you can certainly feel the excitement building around the college right now. The regular semester is done and all that are left are intensives (maybe not all...but not a full semester at least). BUT, even before all of that there comes a momentous day where Summer Assignments and First Appointments are announced. There is a lot of anticipation around the college as we all think about where we may be going and what is in store for our futures.

However, even before all of those exciting things are revealed we are first heading out on easter brigading - myself I'm going to Flin Flon, and of course we have all sorts of things planned for that weekend and what is in store for us there.

Even still (hard to believe) there is one more countdown that flows around all of this and that is these last few days before Easter as we walk the road to Jerusalem and the unbelievable act of faith and grace made by Jesus Christ in his death on the cross. We're very fortunate here to be able to attend chapel every day and spend time in reflection on that gift of salvation. I hope that others are also taking some time during this week to reflect on the idea that "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." and not only for those that loved him but for all who he loved.

Even in the excitement I have ahead of me I feel so privileged to have received this great gift.
