Fall break is over and Thanksgiving is behind us. Now the last few weeks of classes begin. I have more work than I feel that I can possibly get done. It happens this way every semester and somehow by God's grace I get through the work and end up actually accomplishing something good. Right now I'm planning the class that I will be teaching in the Center for Biblical Studies in the Spring. I'll be teaching Computer Tools for Bible Study. It's a new class that I'm developing to help folks learn how to use computer-based bible tools as well as the Internet to assist them in their own studies and class/Bible study preparation.
I am really looking forward to one class in particular in the Spring. I'm taking a class on the exegesis of Gospel narrative that will be taught by Dr. Hall Harris and Dr. Daryll Bock. They co-teach the class but unlike many other co-taught classes they will teach at the same time. I've been told by several friends that this is the best class theytook during their time in Seminary.
I'm looking forward to vacation this Winter. I have the week after Christmas off because we are closed for the week. The week after that I'm taking another week off to take a Wintersession class. I'll be taking Old Testament History II where we cover 1&2 Samuel, 1&2 Kings, 1&2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. It will go from about 8:30-3:45 for a week. These classes are really fast but we also are able to get immersed in the class and not have to worry about other classes. Besides, it's a quick way to get 2 credits and another class.
