GREAT NEWS!

In the past 13 months on campus at Southeastern, I have managed to adjust and situate myself into a new seminary with new rules, harder grade-scaling, and better affordable campus housing.

Today, my brother (who is a student at Leavell College on the campus of New Orleans Seminary) gave me a link to one of my favorite things from NOBTS. The link is a myspace page of the GOATKEEPER.

The GOATKEEPER was a parody newspaper by NOBTS students of the different events happening around campus. I have included the link below for you to share in the humor and parody of the GOATKEEPER

Blogging is...

Blogging is.... typing what your feeeling
Blogging is.... letting people you know whats on your mind
Blogging is.... wandering if anyone even reads your blog
Blogging is.... allowing those closest to me to hopefully be blessed, encouraged, & challenged to live their faith out & share their faith with others. Throughout this year, I have really given much thought and heart into the verse of 1 Corinthians 10:31, (and ICO staff lets say it together) "Therefore, whatever you do, whether you eat or whether you drink, do all for the glory of God." This is the life verse of Peter Copeland. This verse humbles me. It makes much of God, and God alone. As Christ INCREASES in my life, I can do nothing else but DECREASE. If everything I do is done for the glory, the honor, praise, exaltation, magnification and worth of God in Heaven, then everything I do must be done in purity, obedience, sacrifice, and in His strength.

When I first made my CopelandConnections webpage in geocities, I captured the following verse found in Isaiah 43:1-2 at the very top of the webpage, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you...For I am the Lord your God..."

I recently had to put up (yet, again) a desktop photo of the "It's Not About Me" book cover by Max Lucado. It is a constent reminder, that my life is for His glory. I was created to worship, I am called to worship, and I cannot do anything in this life on this side of the cross WITHOUT worship.

So the question is: Who or what is your life about?
