interested who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's that time again; the time when I realise that it's two weeks since I
told myself to send out another newsletter. I was chatting to someone at
church this morning and he says that people ask him, "now that you're
retired, don't you get bored" and his response is something to the effect
of, "it seems like I've just woken up and half the day's gone and then I
start doing something that needs to be done and the rest of it
disappears". I'm experiencing more and more of that.
The past few weeks have been enjoyable though; I hiked Muizenberg's
mountain yesterday and went to the Melting Pot (a little open mic place)
and a piano recital last week. Meetings and responsibilities seem to
consume time though. There are a bunch of security issues in the various
residences and three new people have moved into the res in the past month.
The next two weeks also look to be crazy with a number of assignments
being due as well as an Islam block course, a Tim Keller conference (at
Common Ground), a few John Piper sessions (at St James) and the Lausanne
conference. As well as the annual lecture, a slot with Christopher Wright
and something else that I'm sure I've forgotten. So please keep me in your
prayers in that regard.
I had the opportunity to get my hands on a keyboard down here as well
which has devoured more time :). I have had a good term thus far though
although the courses have seemed a tad dry. Greek has been exciting to me
as we've been translating our way through Philippians and Hebrew has also
been pretty cool recently as we've been dissecting Genesis 11. Please pray
that these things would excite me for the right reasons (which I believe
they have been this far but it's easy to, for example, do word study for
the sake of doing a word study).
Slowly plans are forming in my mind as to what my options are once I have
finished my degree but it's still weighing on my mind so please also keep
that in your prayers as well.
In Christ,
James Cuénod
