What a cruddy day.

1. I spent all day yesterday preparing to speak to a small group of intercessors on spiritual warfare. When the time came, nobody showed up. Each of them thought, "Well, I'm snowed under with schoolwork, and it won't really matter if I don't show up this one time." Except that none of them showed up, and I was really disappointed.

2. The head of campus security chewed me out this morning for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign.

3. An African-American student walked out of class because she was hurt and offended at Flannery O’Connor’s use of the word “Negro.” I should have addressed the issue of the language at the beginning of class, or even before I assigned the reading, but I didn't.

On top of that, I got a huge stack of papers to grade this weekend.
