springing forward

First of all, many apologies for the faithful blog-checkers (you know who you are) who have been greatly disappointed the past few weeks with the lack of new material. It's been a couple busy weeks of school, with lots of planning, teaching, giving homework, grading homework, making tests, and (soon to come next week) grading tests and calculating monthly grades. However, that's pretty lame excuse.


Sometimes I forget the purpose of having a blog. My ideal purpose is to compose deeply thoughtful, intensively reflective, and yet easily readable essays to stretch my brain, soul, and writing ability, inspiring my readers with a distinctive viewpoint on life lived in Christ. But, thinking that way puts my performance at the center of everything, filling my blog with self rather than the glory of the Creator. I forget that the best function of the blog is simply to inform those who care about my life abroad.


I'm in the midst of writing a short update about life in Parral, which I will hopefully post this weekend. But first I'd like to give a little visual of what I wrote about in the last two posts: my experience thus far in Albergue, and our visit to Basaseachi Falls. Enjoy the pictures!
