semester 5 halfway point
Well I just got out of a midterm exam in my Intro to Old Testament class. Could have gone worse, could have definitely gone better. But regardless of that, we have reached the halfway point of the semester. We get a week to sit back and relax and take it easy next week................... Yeah right! We'll all be scrambling to catch up on the reading that we've fallen behind on over the last seven weeks and hopefully get a little jump on the reading and papers that will be coming in the six weeks following the break. But even with all this work ahead of me and even with a little more than a year remaining until graduation I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. When I started seminary it seemed like I would never be done with school. I figured out a while back that since I started Kindergarten I have been in school for 26 out of the last 31 years. But now I can actually see the end in sight. I'm ready to get done with school and get to work actually doing ministry. My chaplain candidate tour this summer was just a small taste of what I will be doing as an Air Force Chaplain but it was a wonderful taste. My current job, though with a church, has me sitting in front of a computer the vast majority of the time. I'm ready to get away from the machines and start dealing with people. And I can see the day coming!

Yes, you, too, will survive! Hang in there. I'll tell you, though, sometimes I'd rather just deal with the computer! ;-)
Oh I'm sure there will be days when I'm ready to chuck it all and go back to sitting in front of a computer. But then, I'm going into the military chaplaincy, so there will most definitely be days when I'm stuck in the chapel, in front of the computer, filling out paperwork all day long. At least I won't get all the calls when the computers don't work the way they should.
