Season of Opportunity

Hello!
   I apologize for my brief hiatus. I have spent the past week preparing for my senior year at the University of Central Oklahoma. I am currently taking 12 credit hours, all of which are literature classes. I look forward to the writing and mental challenge that this fall semester will surely provide.  This will take up a large amount of my time, but I knew that before I decided to take on the challenge of a political campaign. We will rely on God for his grace and wisdom as our time is spent rapidly.  That was part of the discussion before my wife and I began this journey.  

    My English literature class requires that I keep a blog. It makes more sense to include the class in this political journey than to begin a completely separate blog in order to receive a passing grade. This will allow for me to integrate the knowledge I obtain from this semester into our campaign for the Oklahoma State House.  I hope you all will join me in welcoming my Professor, Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, and the rest of my Eng. Lit Since 1800, class! 

       I would like to welcome back to class Oklahoma Baptist University and Saint Gregory's University.  These students are a great part of Shawnee's economic success.  They employ hundreds of Shawnee's finest citizens, including myself : ) !  I hope this semester is your best yet.  

      My wife and I recently gave blood at the Oklahoma Blood Institute's Blood drive held in the "bloodmobile" just outside of OBU's RAWC (Recreation and Wellness Center). I encourage you to give it a try! I hate needles, but it is worth a few minutes of discomfort if it might save a life.  "Feel Strong. Give Blood." 

   I recently attended Spotlight on Shawnee, Downtown on Bell Street.  A couple thousand students and several businesses were represented! I signed up to work the Pott County Republican Party's booth at the County Fair,  Friday and Saturday Sept. 9-10th.  I hope to see you there!


God Bless, 
Justin Wood
