This week marks the beginning of classes where I teach and I am taking on some extra teaching duties for a colleague.  The last couple of days have felt very much like a class IV rapids and I am hanging onto the sides of the boat to keep from going for a cold swim.

I am taking today to recover, catch my breath, and choose a line for the coming week..  I will continue my walk with water tomorrow — after I have navigated this most turbulent stretch.

Prayer: God give me the wisdom, patience, and energy to navigate this challenging week.
