Praying, Past and Next

There's plenty of stuff to be thankful for from the last few weeks, and plenty more to pray for on the horizon. Here are a couple of things Past and Next.

Past...

• ...Comforts. College occasionally runs Marriage Enrichment courses for students. We enjoyed one a week ago. Very comforting, encouraging, constructive.
• ...Submissions. I submitted a paper last week on Ezekiel 37. It's about the unity of God's people and His desire to be present among them. Tedious in the writing; heartening on reflection.
  
• ...Sorrows. Last week a thanksgiving service was held in memory of Sir Marcus Loane. The service was held in the cathedral. It was immensely encouraging both to hear of his long life of faithfulness and to see the strength of the Sydney Anglican scene gathered around one its dearly loved forefathers.
  

Next...

• ...Week: My regular languages study (Greek and Hebrew) has come off the boil a bit. I need to dial the heat back up a bit. (Just the routine practice & exposure).
• ...Essay: How is the law of God viewed in the Psalms, and what role does it play in the theology of the Psalter? (Old Testament 3) Nick is doing the same one.
  
• ...Conference: I'm helping out as Pastoral Leader on a Presbyterian Youth conference (Winter Camp) over the June long weekend.
