James Cuénod's Newsletter 2011-10-11

James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To those interested who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm feeling the pressure of the final stretch and my ears are popping, I'm
getting to the point at which I have to leave something out.
Six assignments
Five exams
Six weeks
and third year is over.

It feels like yesterday when I wrote my first newsletter and I'm a few
weeks from graduation (assuming things don't go too pear shaped). Two
weekends ago I preached, I helped at an evangelism workshop, I went to the
old SRC farewell lunch type thing, I wrote an assignment, I practiced some
music (because last week I played piano - which was not a total failure,
so I was satisfied - the old pianist can have his job back though!).
Basically everything demands a lot of time and I don't have a lot of time
to devote to everything.

This Friday I'm handing in an assignment for Spirit and Salvation, I've
chosen the topic "The Spirit's Work of Illumination in the Life of a
Believer" because I'm a masochist and enjoy enormous readings of Barth and
his critics.

If I ever go insane, I imagine it would be under circumstances similar to
these.

I don't think insanity is a likely outcome so that needn't be a prayer
item but certainly finishing strong, actually spending time being mastered
by the Word rather than trying to master it all the time and perseverance
are all things I would appreciate your prayer for.

It's not long to go

In Christ,
James Cuénod
