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.
