Doctoral update

I have been doing lots of typing at night and am making progress. I have about 40-50 more pages, I think, until I am at a point where I will wrap things up. I am on page 136, but with my appendix, which includes sermons and curriculum, etc. I will end up around 300 pages.

I am at the point where I am trying to interpret the data which has been compiled to see what it all means. Sometimes, that is not easy to do, but trends end up appearing which becomes interesting. I have been linking our spiritual discipline scores to the state of the church which helps put things in perspective and makes the totals a little more relevant for me in my study.

Eventually, sometime in July, I think, I will present my findings (learnings) to the church on a couple of Sunday or Wednesday evenings and try to lead us in a discussion of what this all means and what comes next for us.

For now, just remember me in prayer. I'll try to give better updates as I progress.
