Off to Seminary… Round 2
Rough weekend. Today, we drove Corina’s parents back to the Atlanta airport (about 9 hours total on the road today), and at 4:40 p.m. they left to go back to Romania. It’s been wonderful having them visit us these past few weeks… but all good things must come to an end. What’s tough is not knowing when we’ll see them again.
Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be heading to Louisville for 5 days for another J-term. This one is on “The Reformation” with Dr. Shawn Wright. The reading for this class has been a killer. I’ve read more for this class than for several regular classes combined. Not that it hasn’t been good or interesting – it’s just been a lot. And when reading assignments overwhelm me (an avid reader), you know it’s bad!
Every time I’m on Southern’s campus, I’m struck by the feeling of “history” within the walls. For almost 150 years now, Southern has been training pastors, and I’m honored to take my humble place in the footsteps of many prominent Baptist leaders from the past.
I’m blessed to be in seminary, to be a minister of the gospel in a fantastic church, to be married to a wonderful woman and father to a terrific three-year-old.
Last time I was in Louisville, I was able to meet some of you, my readers or fellow bloggers. Those meetings were the highlights of my week, so if you’re in the Louisville area and want to meet, don’t hesitate to write.
