Of Consecrated Horns and Double Axes

First week of classes is now over. What week. However, I am sure that God had the short week in mind for me when classes did not begin until Tuesday, Sept. 8th. I have yet to have first meetings for three of my classes. I attended my exegesis course and my Visual Art and religion course. The former, is a writing class that is designed to set the stage for three years of papers and research. The latter is....hmmmm...what was it? Two hours of lecture on the Minoans and Myceneans the architecture and art. After that lecture, I can now identify the Consecrated horns and double axes in their recovered ruins and such. HMMMM...I am sure it will make sense someday, but today it eludes me.

Today, I picked up my car in Walnut Creek and drove "chase" back to Berkeley. Now, it is hit the books time.

Thank you for all the prayers for Jack and Ann Mom is doing well, up and walking just hours after her knee replacement. Daddy is sick and at home. Wish I could be there to take care of them both.

God is providing. I plead with you all to pray for Bruce and his family. Ed is continuing to not do well. Bruce, in his earthly strength, is trying to keep everyone up and positive, but it is a really tough time for him and his mom. God, give Ed an extra dose of grace today. Make his pain level decrease and his assurance of your presence increase. Give him more good moments during the week. Restore his mind so that he can marvel at the people that love him. All in all, comfort and sustain the entire Ewing clan during this very difficult time.

So, from the land of Consecrated horns and Double axes...peace!
