Well for those who do not know I am in school too. So while thousands of kids will be headed off to school in the morning so will I. I'm talking 12 hours this semester which doesn't sound like too much but these are Master's level courses and I'm taking all them in one day. So I'll be in class from 8am to 9pm with only 1 hour for lunch. Add in an hour long commute to and from school and my Monday's are packed. Here is my Fall lineup...
8:00 - 10:40am ~ Exegetical Hebrew
This is my third and final Hebrew class. In fact it is my final Biblical languages class. For 7 semesters I have been cramming Greek & Hebrew vocabulary words, paradigms, syntax junk into this already too crammed brain. I'm ready to be done I tell you. You have no idea.
12:00 - 2:45pm ~ Old Testament I
This one is pretty straight forward. I started this class a couple of years ago but had to drop it because Greek was eating my lunch. But since then I have really grown to understand a whole lot more about the OT so I'm actually looking forward to this one.
3:00 - 5:45pm ~ Bible & Moral Issues
I think we discuss hot-button issues like abortion, divorce & remarriage, homosexuality, etc. I know it sounds interesting but remember I'm at a Baptist seminary... I doubt anyone is going to break out in defense of "life partners." But knowing me, I'll open a few cans of worms on some of the issues just to wake people up.
6:15 - 9:00pm ~ Intro to Expository Preaching
Pretty much like it sounds. We study preaching and then we preach (for a grade). Yes you read it correctly... We preach in front of other seminary students for a grade. Part of that makes me feel dirty.
The thing that is going to be a killer is all the papers I have to write and all the books I have to read. I am dreading being so stressed out but I know I do it every semester. The summer has been good for me and my family. Unfortunately, the craziness is about to start all over. However if I can get through this semester all I will have left is a couple of lighter semesters and I'll be done!
So if you think about it please pray for me and my family. Me being in school is SO hard on Shelly. You can imagine having 4 kids and a husband who isn't much help because he's too busy. Also pray for my rear end... that's a long time in the seat.

I love you! Hope you have a great day at school.
Wow. My prayers are with you and your family. That is a lot and a whole lot in one day.
All I can write is: YUCK!
Will do!
Robert,
I can definately feel where you are coming from. I am not taking that many hours but just being in school with a job and 3 kids is enough. I am going for childrens ministry and so I have to have alot of bible classes too and that makes me nervous. So, I definately will be praying for you all though I don't feel very comfortable praying for your behind. That seems to be a wifely prayer.
