Perhaps yesterday’s title works better for today’s post than it did for yesterdays. For today I truly realized just how quickly time does fly. I realized the amount of things I have to do, and the amount of time I have to do them do not always feel 100% compatible.
Today I was looking over my syllabus for Field Ed. and came to the realization that an assignment that I was thought was due two weeks from Tuesday is in-fact due Tuesday. After further searching I realized that the syllabus lists it due this Tuesday but the paperwork for the assignment lists the first class session in October, which is actually three weeks later as fall break is in there. Thus today was sent finishing up that assignment, giving three tours, two of which were longer than normal tours, and finding ways to get signatures from all the people who need to sign the paperwork before Tuesday. I doubt any of my fellow field ed colleagues sent their covenant with the parents of one of those who needed to sign it. 
I also realized that I signed up to do my crisis sermon in the second grouping. That means that Tuesday I will get my crisis, Wednesday I will be closing out my apartment, driving back to Kirtland to work 4 days along with a couple extra hours on Wednesday, and the JWHA conference taking place here next weekend. It will be one amazing balancing act that I will have to do, but somehow it will be done. I make no promises however to my professors on the quality of any of the documents that I will be turning in over the course of the next few weeks. Though, I doubt it will suffer to much, as I still feel I have a lot of time available, just not as much as I would like.
However in all of this realization I also had someone after reading my covenant tell me there was a ministerial language and I had it down. I hope that was a complement, it came across as one, but it also made me think. Is there such a thing? As I read over my covenant I did find that several sections seemed “pastoral” and a few even “Lyle sermonish” (that is similar to how I would convey such thoughts in a sermon) so perhaps there is…
Peace to all,
