My OT sermon and update

I was so stuck on my OT sermon. I'm not sure why I couldn't get started. I knew where I wanted to take it. I did the research, I mediated, I prayed. I just couldn't get started. Yesterday, I decided to at least get my exegesis typed and that went okay.

Today, I reviewed some of the research. Then Barbara and I went to find Ev to return a book he had lent her and ended up staying there talking with he and his roommate for over an hour. I still had to read two readings for Sheryl's class tomorrow and so didn't get to my computer until after 9:30. We'll as you can see from the time stamp (10:53ET) I am up rather late for me. But......my sermon is typed. I am sure I will review and edit it tomorrow, but it is on paper!!!

Update on the week, today was our test in Christian Discipleship. It was two examples of how we will use what we learned in class in our churches. The first question was based on the eight intelligences and the second on the 'means of grace' (sort of like the celebration of discipline by Richard Foster). Then we had to write a letter to ourselves detailing what we will do in our churches when we get back. Alice will mail these letters to us in six months to remind us of our plan!

Tomorrow we get our take home test from Sheryl. Meaning it will be really hard and really detailed on some of what we had on the first test and then covering the church from the council of ephesus and those players up through St. Thomas Aquinas.

That just leaves a quiz in Hebrew Bible on Friday. Another t/f, matching, multiple choice. So far I have three A's and one B for grades. I'm feeling this year reflects who I am so much better than last year. However, next year we have Mickey Efird again, hello D. His material is wonderful, his tests are not. Everyone stresses so badly, he does weird stuff (if that's the right intro) like writing a test, giving instruction to read all the questions before beginning, then the last question says "Put your name on the paper and turn it in". Well, do you take that literally and turn in a blank test or do you assume he means to make sure your name is on the paper before you turn it in!!!!

Good night!
