La Escuela Theologica

And they're off!!! Class has finally begun at THE Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I have enrolled in 'Into to Church History, Intro to Christian Philosophy, and 'Personal Spiritual Disciplines.' And somehow, as amazing as these classes have been this first week of school, I find myself in another class as well. My wife has enrolled us in a 'Bradley Method' class that meets for the next 12 weeks on Sunday afternoons. We are very interested in a drug-free birth, God willing. Also, the class will teach us (mostly me) more about the birthing process, and what will be expected of me. I am somewhat uneducated about this whole thing, and I think this class will be great for us (mostly me). Courtney is going to learn relaxation techniques, and some of them we learned this past week helped her sleep better this week. So praise for that!

What is amazing about seminary classes is that each class starts with prayer and scripture reading. Now, to the graduate of a regular ole' university like me, this is wierd the first time, but extremely refreshing as each class begins. I am also faced with the fact that I sit under men who are spiritual monsters, and I am going to be reading books by men who are spiritual giants! That is somewhat intimidating, but still really exciting. I have a long way to go the next 4 (or 5) years, but the journey our family will have will be exciting, for sure.

As cool and fun and exciting as being here is, we still have a void in our hearts from leaving friends and family behind. This weblog may become more weekly than daily, due to the expectations of wife, school, work, and so on. But I would like everyone to keep in touch! We miss you dearly.

Street Rod Nationals

I have to say, even though we just became apart of the Louisville population, this town has sure proved that there is plenty going on. This weekend is the Street Rod Nationals, which is held at the Kentucky Fair and Expo Center. This joker is like a HUGE event, estimated to bring in some $15 million in revenue to the city. So Courtney and I paid our dues, and went to see some pretty neat street rods. The coolest by far was the working fire engine, which was for sale... For only $6500... No... I cant... But....

Posted above are some other pictures of oldies. It was a neat thing to see, and even if we had spent the whole day there we would have not seen it all. I mean, come on... how can someone see 12000 street rods in one day?

The Latest

Well, who would of thought that washing luxury vehicles all day would make you sore? Not too sore, but sore enough to know that I am sore. Hahaha! I started my job as a valet at Lexus of Louisville monday. It's a pretty cool job. I basically drive cars around the lot once a customer brings it in for service, and help the guys at the wash when its busy. Wonder what it will be like in the winter?

I also registered for school. I will be taking 3 classes, and the guys at Lexus are going to work me around my school schedule, which is great.

Courtney and I went to a drive-in movie last saturday. Yes, I said drive-in movie. We saw Stealth, with Jamie Foxx. It was pretty good, but I am a sucker for military jets anyway. I also tried a 'fried oreo.' What an experience that was. It was pretty good, and I had no idea you could serve an oreo like that. Courtney had to pee like 4 times, so she was in and out for the whole movie. We are gonna go back this weekend for the opening of 'The Dukes of Hazzard.' We were a bit unprepared, because most people bring lawn chairs, coolers, even mattresses to make thier experience more comfortable. It was still a lot of fun though.

Thats all for now. Gotta go wash some more cars today. Thursdays are my day off, so I look forward to that. PEACE
