Well, I got a B+ on my sermon. He didn't like how long it took me to get to the scripture and that I didn't read the scripture before I started. I explained that I had struggled with knowing how to present the sermon so that it felt like a sermon, not a presentation that had a lead in explanation, etc. However, several people said they really liked it and one gentleman asked for a hard copy.
I've turned in my lesson plan for Hebrew Bible on Hosea and have my 2nd close read ready to turn in tomorrow. I also finished my exegesis for the OT sermon in Preaching, but I'm stuck on how to start the sermon. I have until Wednesday, I'm praying I'll get an inspiration.
Other than that, there is a final in each of the first three classes. Tomorrows in Formation for Christian Discipleship is open book, but most of the questions ask us how we apply what we learned to our devotional lives and will apply them when we get back to our churches. The Early Church History test is also open book/take home, but that just means it'll be much harder and indepth than the last one. We haven't asked too many questions about the Hebrew Bible test -- the midterm was t/f, matching, multiple choice. Don't know if this one is the same or not.
We went to Duke Gardens yesterday and last week I went to the Nasher Museum. We also have attended two local churches and Duke Chapel and we always go out to brunch after. That doesn't include the "Meet Me on Ninth" and the Bulls baseball game, the trip to Walmart and the grocery store, etc. The only thing I haven't done this year is go to the pool. I haven't really felt like getting wet.
Will update you as the week progresses.
