Back to the very exciting John, Logos, and Postmodernism discussion later this week. But today is a light day. In T-minus 8 hours (probably more like 7), I will have finished my 3rd semester working towards my Ministry and Leadership degree (i.e. – generic Christian degree similar to the generic ‘business’ degree at normal colleges). I finished up my final paper on Jude last night, and have a presentation on Jude (go figure) this evening and then it’s free reign for about… oh… 3 weeks or so.
Unfortunately the holidays and finishing up this class … okay and general slacking have got me a bit behind on my reading plan. But the good news is I have a couple of books in the wings for these three weeks, one of which aided in sparking the previously mentioned Logos discussion. I’m certain you are all looking forward to more of that (:wide eyed:)
Next semester looks like this:
PSYC-1320 General Psychology – Jan 5th – Feb 16 (online)
HIST-3311 History of Christianity – Jan 19 – March 8 (campus)
MINL-2310 Biblical Communication Seminar I – March 13 – May 7 (campus)
PHIL-3320 Introduction to Philosophy - April 13 – May 18 (online)
HIST-3320 American Christianity – May 4 – June 21 (campus)
So in general, i guess that means i’ll be able to communicate the philopshy, psychology, and history of Christianity to you or some such… but more importantly it means come June, i’m done with 99% of my basics, leaving only “Life Science” … which I’m a bit confused on the topic covered in that class. Also, this is my first time over 12 hours… time to start kickin’ as quick as possible.
I used to be anti-christian “higher education” … maybe I should explain that one day, but my wife still wants the fatherhood post. And before I start rambling, i’ll sign off for the day.
congrats on finishing 3 semesters!! basics can be hard…there is that pining to get to the “meat of the matter” (here is where I should argue for the relevance of the basics…but I cannot)
Congratulations on getting through this semester. Jeremy you will do fine on your finals and actually I always felt that this is way to do it. Have some time to decide what you want to do in your life. I loved my Psychology class and really wanted to get involved with helping people through social services, rehab, psychology, etc. I learned so much about personalities and illnesses that most people don’t understand. I love your site and love to talk with you about it. I came from a family that only sent us girls to church on Sunday’s to get us out of the house so Mom and Dad could have their quiet time on Sunday’s. I’m at a point in my life where discovery and learning about God is important to me. My Mom attended a Quaker religion and my Dad…on well both were from Penn but my Dad was raised by a randy father who managed to teach all of his boys the 4 letter words as part of their communication but no church. My sisters and I attended and we were part of the choir for years at a local Church. My husband has turned his back on religion because he lost father on Christmas Eve due to a drunk driver when he was ten years old. He remembers the priest coming to their home but both him and identical twin brother would not talk to him. They could not understand why their Dad had been taken from them…was this God’s will? Also, my husband served in viet nam and was a medic and he had to see and deal with losing men and placing them in body bags…he drank a lot then but he doesn’t drink now. I have always wanted to learn more about the bible and our Father but I allowed my husband views to stop me from pursuing. Well, Jeremy…I’m needing this because my Mom and Dad are at the age where they will be leaving me and I need the strength and understanding that I know is there in the bible, God, Jesus. I just like to have someone that I am comfortable with to help me learn and understand. I feel you and your wife would be good people to talk too and help me with learning and understanding our Lord… now in my life .. I truly want too…. I know my husband has to find his own way…I won’t force any of this on him.
