Overwhelmed!
Posted by BryanApr 6
Just a quick update.
This weekend was great… but overwhelming. I travelled home with my fianceé to take part in our first wedding shower, which was held on Saturday. We got lots of great stuff and are very thankful for our friends and family. Then on Sunday I preached on Mark 1:1-15, focusing on Mark’s answer to the question, “but who do you say that I am?” from Mark 8:29. The identity of Jesus is one of Mark’s main theological themes throughout the Gospel, and is heavily featured in his prologue. Immediately after the service, we had some home cooked food thanks to my mom and made the trip back to Louisville. It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but full of grace and goodness.
This semester has about 3 more weeks in it and I’m feeling the strain. I have 3 papers to write, another chapter for Dr. Greg Allison’s forthcoming book to edit, and the hardest section of Hebrew grammar (for the book we’re using) to go. Pray for me!

Starting is easier than finishing (Jesus in the garden comes to mind) hang in there, the Body needs you to complete what you’ve started.
Congrads on the coming wedding, this year will be 40 yrs for my wife & I, its worth it all…
BTW, I couldn’t agree more it’s all about The identity of Jesus (2 Cor 11:3-4 & Gal 1:6-9).
