Take time. Give God time to reveal Himself to you. Give yourself time to be silent and quiet before Him, waiting to receive, through the Spirit, the assurance of His presence with you, His power working in you.  Take time to read His Word as in His presence, that from it you may know what He asks of you and what He promises you. Let the Word create around you, create within you a holy atmosphere, a holy heavenly light, in which your soul will be refreshed and strengthened for the work of daily life. -- Andrew Murray. The Secret of Adoration. Quoted in They Found the Secret by V. Raymond Edman (Grand Rapids, MI:  Zondervan, 1984), p. 118.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Pray that above quote will be true for our family and those with whom we connect on campus as we prepare for and journey through the fall term. 

With regard to the summer, it has been full!  Full with family, friends, and financial provision.  As in our last email, we encourage you to visit our family blog http://www.groshlink.net, keep up with our posts on Facebook (if you'd like to be friends, let us know!), and pray through our August prayer calendar (click here. Tom's recent posts at http://blog.emergingscholars.org include Academics Coming to Faith, A Land Full of Mystery, Danger, and Wonder, and Dumbledore as a model admin?   Lots of good comments on a variety of posts.  Would anyone have something to add in response to Quote: Simone Weil on Studying?

As mentioned above, even finances have been full. The 2008-2009 books have been closed and we finished in the black.  To God be the glory!  We rejoice in His continuing provision through the encouragement, gifts, prayer, and financial support of his people.  Lastly, if your small group, local congregation, or ministry would have interest in having us share about our work over the course of the next several months, please be in touch so we can set our calendar.

One more day by the grace of God alone,
