i had worship for our deans meeting this morning and i took 1 Cor. and rewrote it from a deans point of view.hope you enjoy it.

1. Though I can deliver a great worship talk, but have not love I
sound just like the class bell.
2. And though I have great intuition, and can tell what a student is
thinking, and have wonderful advice at all times, and have not love, I
am nothing.
3. And though I work for little pay and pour all my energies into
planning activities and have not love, I am nothing.
4. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not
parade itself, is not puffed up;
5. Dose not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
6. Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
7. Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8. Love never gives up. but our own intuition, it will fail, our own
words will fall short, our own understanding will not be complete.
9. We make judgments on the information we have.
10. But in the end God will make all things known, and our own ideas
will pass away.
11. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish
things.
12. Now we cant really see whats going on in the heart, its like a dim
glass, but soon God is going to make it all clear in His time.
13. And now the only three things that matter are faith, hope, and
love. But the greatest of these is love.

this last weekend Angelia and I took 12 students up to the Stryen cabin. let me tell you it was an adventure. took us 2 and a half hours to hike up friday night. it was misting but we kept moving so it was alright. that night it snowed about three inches that night. very pretty. for church we did solo time and then went for a hike in the afternoon. but Sabbath night was when the fun started. one of the girls got confused in the dark and grabbed the bear spray instead of a water bottle and sprayed it in her face. four girls got it really bad. so we had to take care of them and wait for the cabin to air out. that was crazy to say the least. but we must praise the Lord because all of the girls were almost 100 % better the next day!!!! then the rat visited the girls. theni had to rebuild the fire and i put wet wood on the stove to dry, which caught fire in about 45 min later :) but we were able to put in out right away. on sunday i lost the bar nut to the chain saw. four of us guys looked for it for about 15 min and right when i gave up one of the guys found it. sunday afternoon on the way down one of the girls had gotten some bear spray on her shirt and she couldent carry her pack. so i carried it most of the way down. all in all it was a great weekend. and we are all the better for it. the most amazing this is that even with all the crazy and dangerious thing that happend at the end of the day all is well. no last effects. its all by the grace of God. praise His name.
