After the ceremony, as lunch grew near, we inquired: \u201cWhere is your car?\u201d Evidently, the panic of the morning erased all memory of even a hint of which North-South-East-West direction was used for a possible parking place.<\/p>\n

Yes; the first act of this newly minted college graduate was to lose a car. We actually had to return to the stadium lot after most vehicles had exited to drive around to locate it.<\/p>\n

Checking Off A Task<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lost count of the graduations I\u2019ve attended (only one involved a lost car), and I confess that attending these events often felt like checking off a task on my list of dutiful responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u2019ve felt this way, too; as for faculty, there seems to be no end to the checkboxes: Final grades submitted: Check. References completed: Check. Committee report done: Check. Attend graduation: Check. <\/p>\n

If graduation feels like a checkbox, it\u2019s likely a bunch of life feels that way, too. Sadly, A checkbox life will end with \u201cRetirement party thrown for me\u201d: Check and \u201cDeath\u201d: Check.<\/p>\n

A Different Quality of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thankfully, the Bible offers a different quality of life: the joy and adventure of following a person (John 10:27) and the thrill of participating in the good endeavors God specifically created us for (Eph 2:10), which are part of his plan to bless the world. Indubitably, we check our fair share of boxes along the way, but following a person, not checking boxes, becomes the animating passion for our lives. <\/p>\n

The Constancy of God\u2019s Call, Presence. and Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an odd way, something is going on around the state of North Carolina right now that reminded me of God\u2019s presence in my daily work. Currently, there are perhaps one million cicadas per acre here. They are everywhere. I\u2019m told it hasn\u2019t happened to this extent since 1803. <\/p>\n

Their white-noise-like roar is mesmerizing; it never stops. Step outside, and you hear the drone. All day. All night. I even hear it as I sit in my house. The distinctive droning buzz is loud enough to be heard but soft enough to be in the backdrop.  <\/p>

This ever-present music beautifully reminds me of the constancy of God\u2019s call, presence, and story. <\/blockquote>\n

I finish a call: the noise is there. I finish ten emails; the noise is there. Whatever I\u2019m working on, the gentle roar reminds me that I\u2019m part of a bigger, better story – following the Lord of the universe. Any box I\u2019m trying to check reminds me that there is something far more significant than a box. <\/p>\n

Following Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n

I suspect I\u2019m not alone in needing help moving my life from checking boxes to following Christ. In some ways, I wish these cicadas would never leave, as they so effectively remind me of this story that surrounds me, that is always singing, always present. <\/p>\n

Most academics love this time of year, as it affords a chance to write, think, and publish, generally free of classroom responsibilities. Enjoy these months ahead, but treasure them as not simply a respite to check more boxes more efficiently. Instead, seek to listen to the music of the ever-present bigger and better story and follow Christ into all the places he\u2019s calling you this summer. <\/p>\n

And congratulations on another great school year in the books!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
