felt tired today and at breakfast, i sat still for a couple of moments and invited God to go through this day with me and give me strength. he showed me his love today in very profound instances, one of which was during my anatomy class. dr. townsend took some time at the end of class to share her testimony and how she came to know Christ. she started getting teary-eyed and all of us felt deep within us the grace and love of God in her life. the other instance was when I opened my email to find a message from dr. vlachos. last friday, he had surgery to get some bladder stones out and he spent the weekend recuperating. I found out from a friend that he arrived for class this morning but had to leave because he wasn't feeling well. This is what he wrote me:
Hi, Gracie bug,
My system went into some kind of shock last night and before class today due to some complications from the surgery. I was trying to stick it out but thought it best to get to the doctor as quickly as possible. .
Things have somewhat stabilized. The doctor thinks I will be fine. I am supposed to speak at the Passage orientation meetingtomorrow morning, so I will try to get to campus and hopefully make it through my 11:15-1:00 class too.
I looked out at the class today and wanted to tell them how much I appreciate them, but I didn't want to get too sappy. :-)
But it's true. I love my students. If I didn't, I would not have gotten out of bed this morning.
IHS,
Dr. Vlachos

The love of christ. The love of God is saturated in the lives of the people around me. I see it, and am moved deeply by it.
