We got our tree, and set it up in our new apartment. There are still a few boxes around and thinks strewn about every which way. The important thing is that our tree is set up! So here is our 30 minutes of decoration in only two minutes.

A group of stout students put together this drama to depict what Jesus Christ did on the cross in a more tangible way. While I’m not a huge fan of these dramas this one I felt was very direct and powerful. Hopefully some of that comes through in the video.

Bethel Seminary, I’m In!

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Just got two phone calls from Bethel Seminary and I’ve been accepted!!

Now it is just a matter of figuring out the job situation for Jordan and I to learn if I’ll be starting January 7th, or not until March. As of now my guess is that I won’t be starting until march to give me some time to work, and decompress from the last 4.5 years of school before diving into another 3 for my masters.

This is really a great feeling. I’m continually getting more and more excited to start my courses at seminary and it’s so awesome to see God putting pieces in place for Jordan and I with the vision He has given us for church planting in France. Will post more as I learn about it.

Graduation is almost here

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Today Jordan and I picked up our cap and gowns from the book store (cost us $50+! but they seem nicer than the plastic high school ones) and got our graduation tickets from the service desk.

My list of tasks  to complete before the end of the term is shrinking as well, slowly but surely. From an original 20 items as of last Sunday down to 15 right now. This leaves me with

  • Four Papers
  • Two Quizzes
  • Two Exams (only one finals week!)
  • Some flash grammar tutorials
  • Some web code
  • one set of online discussion participation

Thats it!

My application is also now complete over at Bethel Seminary. I should be hearing back this week from the sounds of it so I’ll be sure to post up here when I hear back!!

God Bless,
