Closing a chapter and starting a new one
Just a little over two weeks left and my time here at Fuller will come to a close. There are lots of transitions ahead, like packing, moving, and then moving again. However, the present is what I need to focus on right now. I am trying to finish up my paper here. I have just one. I have a little over two weeks left to finish it. I still have a ways to go. I keep telling myself to finish strong and do not take the easy road. There is nothing better than having a little pressure and a little stress during this time to keep me honest.
So what does the future have in store for me when I leave Fuller. Well, my wife, Cheryl and I are planning to go back to the Philippines to continue our work among the Muslim urban poor communities. We have been waiting to go back for the last four years and we believe we will go back at the end of July.
Most of what we will do in the Philippines is community development work in terms of transformational development. If you do not know transformational development is I encourage you to take Bryant Myers class called Transformational Development.
Well, I need to get back to writing. I have 30 pages or so to go. I hope to post again one or two more times, so until then.
