I wrote this yesterday and forgot to post it up for you. My apologies.
I send my greetings to everyone who is reading this. I know it has been five days since I wrote last; however, I had midterms for both Greek and Hebrew. I also had several papers for all the other classes, so it has been a busy five days. I took my Hebrew test last Thursday, and I got it back today. I received a B on it, which is pretty good in my opinion. However the professor’s exact quote was, “Your scores were too high.” He told us we should have all gotten low B’s instead of so many high B’s and A’s. So he is going to make the next test harder to make sure we all get low B’s. This literally infuriated me, as well as much of the rest of the class. It just doesn’t make sense to us that a teacher would be upset with us doing well, and promising us it won’t happen again next test. However, I am taking better notes and know exactly what to study now so hopefully I can still do well on the next one as well. I have been getting A’s on all my papers that I have been getting back so far, so it feels good to know I can write quality grad school papers.
Friday was a pretty good day for me. I had to work that evening, and then after I got off work a few of us guys went down to a bar where one of our friends works. The Cardinal’s, for those of you who don’t know they are in the playoffs, played Friday night. We watched them play which was fun, and just had a good time with friends.
Saturday morning I woke up and watched the hunting channel which I haven’t done for a long time. Then I played in our intramural sand volleyball tournament. That was a lot of fun with a great group of guys all just having a good time. I worked lunch, went and watched the Preachers’ tennis match, and then worked again for supper. Watching the tennis team play made me want to play tennis so bad; however, they are redoing our campus’s courts so we can’t play on them yet. This new cashier supervisor job has been really good so far. I am getting lots of hours, training all the new guys, and get free suppers on top of it. Plus it just feels good to be trusted with the responsibility of the whole process. I know my bosses enjoy it, because they can dump all the time consuming paper work and tasks on me, but I am glad to help them out.
After all of that, Saturday night I thought I was going to have a stroke watching my Huskers. I seriously think I am losing several years off my life each game I watch them play. They did come back to win it, but it was nerve racking. If Ohio State still didn’t had suspended players plus the injury of Braxton Miller, I think my Huskers would have gotten seriously trounced. However, we put the full load on Rex Burkehead’s shoulders, and he carried it all the way to a 21 point comeback for the win. Rex is my favorite player probably since Barry Sanders.
Sunday was another great day at my field work church. The fourth year preached and the second year did the liturgy, so Pastor sat in the pews with me. It was exciting to see them up there and think about my chances coming very soon to begin helping with the service. I am taking Worship class this next quarter and then after that I can do the liturgy. This means I have to buy an alb, but I can handle that.
Sunday afternoon and evening after we got back from church and lunch, I spent my time studying Greek for my test today.
Today was a pretty good day. I worked breakfast and supper today, but both of them were pretty slow so I did catch up on some reading. My classes went well, besides the Hebrew predictions for the next test. Pastoral Ministry covered more about our calls and how to properly handle the process. I did have one thing from this that really kind of sat wrong in my gut; however, I will talk about it later.
So that is what I have been doing the past few days while you haven’t heard from me. I hope this fills in the gaps and hope you can all understand that I will try to always keep up with this, but tests and papers properly take precedence. I am just going to end this one with prayer, and then plan to write at least one, if not two more of things that have been on my mind lately. Please be patient with me, always keep me in your prayers, and feel free to call me or email me anytime.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay, close by me forever and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, and take me to Heaven to be with thee there.
Jesus Savior wash away, all that has been wrong today. Help me every day to be good and gentle more like thee. Amen.
