“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers [and Sisters,] I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:12-14
New International Version
This Fall, my daughter Zuri and I bid a fond farewell to our Reid Temple family to relocate to Evanston, IL. There I will begin studies towards the completion of the PhD in Theological, Ethical and Historical Studies at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary on the campus of Northwestern University.
