Seminary

I was accepted into the M.Div. program at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary just before Christmas. Unfortunately our home still has not sold so we aren't able yet to relocate to Louisville. Early this week I got my status changed from an "on-campus" student to "Internet-only." I will be taking three on-line courses this first semester, January 19th to May 3rd, though we're still hopeful we'll be able to move long before the semester's over. (We have some people scheduled to look at our house, tomorrow. Their broker toured the house last weekend and decided it is ideal for them.)

I've signed up for Elementary Hebrew, Biblical Hermeneutics, and Introduction to Christian Philosophy. I received the textbooks yesterday, have printed out all the class handouts, and have read through all the lecture notes for the Christian Philosophy class. This morning I started on the first assignment for the hermeneutics class. Though I have a reputation for being a reader and somewhat academic, I'm very intimidated by the idea of going back to school. Learning Hebrew at age 51 is especially daunting.
