Since I've been back to Chicago, a few things have happened, and I haven't shared anything on here, so here's a few snippets:
I came back to Chicago with $13 in my bank account while owing the school $2300 from last semester in order to register for classes $1300 needed to be paid in less than 4 days. God provided the means yet again to register for classes.
My classes are: Concrete/foundation design II, Repair/renovation/conversion of existing buildings, Construction plan scheduling, Project: renovation of Alumni Hall (the Civil engineering college building here at IIT), and Policy:Science & Technology.
I think I will thoroughly enjoy at least 3 of my 5 classes, and maybe even the Political Science class, the professor of which is a left wing democrat.
I am breeding Crickets (eggs start hatching today!!!) to feed the 10 frogs, 2 turtles, and 2 anoles we have in the apartment (and a bearded dragon next door) After the first batch of eggs hatch, I will officially have more animals in my possession than the Bridges!
Noah (my roommate's son) is staying at our apartment more frequently.
My close friend Robin got Baptized (in an inflatable kiddy pool no less).
My apartment is nice and tidy now.
Last Saturday night some folks from my Church put together a slew of bags with gloves, hats, hand warmers, etc, in order to minister to Chicago's Homeless. I have been looking forward to it all month, but the time on the bulletin was wrong and so I missed it by an hour, but I was able to fellowship with my pastors family afterward for dinner.
Tamra Branks, my pastor's wife, had a Heart Attack last night. Please pray for her and Pastor Bill.
I may have a small window of opportunity to personally witness to Barack Obama at a small gathering in two weeks. Pray for that as well.
