It’s Monday.

The days are getting shorter, the nights longer, and I am wondering where they both have gone.

I’m waiting in my office for some students to finish a test. They are all adults and I want them all to do well. It’s Old Testament and they started off with such a bang – almost like a "let there be light BIG bang."

Now we are a few weeks into the class and I have to hear confessions like, "I didn’t do anything this week."

I should be able to know that on my own in a few minutes.

But I think they will be inspired by the end of class. After all, I’m excited.

Yesterday was Sunday – two sermons and an afternoon a sheer relaxation. And today, except for some snags in the system – relaxed study and just plain old fashioned relaxation.

Why am I doing this? Because someone told me that you just have to start – even if it is Monday and you don’t have much to say.
