It's a cloudy day in South Carolina, football is in the air, cookouts are being planned on campus, and studying is commencing for Greek and History. We are entering into what Dr. Everret calls the spin cycle weeks 5-9. Midterms kick this off and finals end it. The pressure is increasing and stress is elevating when trying to balance field education, reading, studying and fellowship. With this said the only balance we have during these weeks is the cross of Christ. Things during these weeks seem to be out of balance and we are told to just hang on! Within our furious studying and worries the one thing that we can rely on is the cross which is the only thing we can cling to in times of transition and stress. This applies to life, no matter what the situation. In life we can worry about finances, paying the bills, work and family but with these dynamics of life Christ will and is always there for us no matter what. As Christians we are called to pray when others cannot, to witness when others don't feel "up to it" and others are called to do the same for us when we feel down trodden and lost others are called to be there with us to stretch out the hand of Christ.
peace,
Jason
