Yesterday was Bethany’s first day of school, and today was mine. There’s actually not been a semester that I’ve not been in school since preschool, but for most of the last 11 years, I’ve been giving assignments, not receiving. Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive, and in this context, I couldn’t agree more!<\/p>\n
I’m at Dallas Seminary<\/a>, of course. The thought of going here has been in my head for more than a decade. And I didn’t really check other schools out. DTS has what I wanted; the other schools don’t. I’ve talked about this before<\/a>, I believe.<\/p>\n Overall, I’m impressed with DTS. In fact, 100% of my teachers talked about getting together in a home visit today. One of them suggested our families get together as our kids are close in age. The other one (who may have great-grandkids close in age to ours!) invited the class (and spouses) over for dinner. That doesn’t mention the other prof whom I don’t have for a class but who stopped by with his wife a few days ago to bring dinner and say hi.<\/p>\n One class has a brutal workload. The other is very easy. I’m taking one for credit; the other I’m auditing. Unfortunately I’m auditing the easy one. Both classes are about Matthew. I’ve studied and taught the life of Christ, but I’ve never had a class on a single gospel. I am excited to learn. <\/p>\n In case you’re wondering what the hard class requires, here’s a summary:<\/p>\n If the lights on this blog start to dim, you’ll know why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday was Bethany’s first day of school, and today was mine.
