The air-con is cooling … it’s REALLY hot outside. The course is flowing smoothly much better than I expected. Maybe I was “pressurizing” myself too much 😛 Very good students … open conversations … probing deeper … exploring new frontiers for some. Maybe a nudging question is whether all this “spiritual formation” stuff works in…

Belated Post eMo 2006.5 Notes
*warning* – Long post ahead ..
