A short post today, as I'm finishing up my prep-work for classes starting next week. I'm pretty excited about the material this semester. I have found that the process of daily turning my work into acts of worship does some pretty cool things to the work itself.
The obvious fallout from this kind of spiritual discipline (more intimacy with God, a deeper understanding of what I'm doing as part of what He's doing, thanksgiving for getting to be able to do this for a living) aside, I find that the process refines what I'm preparing for my students. As a hater of busywork this is cool.
The end result so far is more focus in the work and more excitement about what I teach. This material is stuff I get to set in front of Christ knowing that He's as excited about it as I am.
I guess the true test is passing this excitement on to the students.
