My frustration level needs prayer. A lot of it. Once again, a child who cannot follow directions was feeding goats weeds through the fence I told them not to feed through. The goat is stuck and I have to get it out without breaking the fence or the goat’s neck. Though the goat replacement would be cheaper than the fence. This is the child who watches the others to find out what the get in trouble for and then does it. Thanks.
And just to top it off, while looking for a key that would work on the feed shed, to keep little folk from going in and taking out feed to overfeed the goats, I managed to lock the door without finding the key to unlock it. But, as the saying goes, when God shuts a door, He always opens a window. And sure enough, the feed shed window is open so I just have to get myself five feet off the ground, remove the screen from the outside, and climb in. Nothing to it. Right? Right? Nothing to it, right?????
doesn’t compare but somedays that’s how I feel teaching this class of kids. I love them dearly, but if they ask me one more question just as I am about to tell them that very thing….
Praying for you Mumsee and feeling your pain. I am currently locked out of our camper, which has the extra fridge, by the visiting grandson. I cannot find the correct key.
Dear Team,
By now you are probably aware that what unfolded Wednesday at UCLA was a murder-suicide carried out by a disgruntled former student against a professor. The news has identified both the shooter and his victim, however, what you might not have heard from the media is that Dr. William S. Klug was a very committed Christ follower.
In fact, UCLA Cru was involved in an outreach that he took part in at UCLA sponsored by the Veritas Forum in 2012. I attended this event (you can view it here: http://www.veritas.org/does-god-care/).
Amazingly, in light of what has just taken place, the content of the forum that Dr. Klug moderated in 2012 is described below on the Veritas website:
Discussing suffering is easier when you’re standing on the outside. It’s a lot harder when you’re in it. Why is there suffering? How do we deal with death? Is God relevant to how we deal with suffering? (This Forum is moderated by Professor William Klug Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UCLA).
This is a tremendous loss to our UCLA community. Christian professors are few and far between on our campus. Dr. Klug’s life was clearly an example, as people have described him as “brilliant,” “kind,” and “compassionate.” One person even said that he “bent over backwards” to help Mainak Sardar (his eventual killer) finish his dissertation and graduate.
Wednesday night (the day of the shooting) was Cru’s last large group meeting of the year. The time was somber and yet hopeful. Two students spoke, Psalms were read, there was worship, and an extended time at the end of the meeting for students to seek counsel and to be prayed for.
Thank you for all of your responses to my initial email. We sensed your love for us, our staff and students, and the UCLA community.
Please pray for Dr. Klug’s wife and two young children. Pray that the Lord would use this tragic event redemptively which he is already doing.
Yours in Christ,
