Early this morning, I traveled to campus to peek into my new classrooms, pray for students who will arrive to my Tuesday / Thursday classes, and get organized for a brand new semester. Things are finally starting to feel “normal” after the COVID years. It’s hard to believe what it used to be like: masks everywhere, socially-distanced seats, hand sanitizer in abundance, and cameras for Zoom attendees. This time, it felt more like the old days. I even printed a syllabus since we aren’t as terrified of germs on paper. More joy, less fear. More hope, less despair.
I’m so thankful. I pray it’s a wonderful semester. I pray God pours out His love and blessing.
