    Just say no – Seminary triage
    While taking some time reading through some posts on Seminary Survival Guide I was struck Mark’s obvious, yet often overlooked, observation that we must learn triage. There’s no way for you to work all the hours to get all the money you need, AND make straight “A”s in school, AND maintain an intimate walk with God, AND pour yourself out in fruitful...

    Taking Virtual Hebrew
    So, I’m five days deep into taking Hebrew 1. To make the class harder the seminary has it as a winter session class (2 weeks) and it is done online! That’s right… online Hebrew. Here is how it works: The class has a CD that essentially contains a ‘web’ based class. Meaning the CD runs off your internet browser showing the pages that have...

    Great new seminary resource
    So, I stumbled upon a GREAT new resource the other day. The Seminary Survival Guide is blog written by a pastor and former seminarian, Pastor Mark. I was absolutely thrilled to find another blogger out there trying to help seminarians make the most of their journey. The blog officially rolled out on December 10th and Pastor Mark has been posting at a really great rate...

    Happy New Years Eve
    Well, the move is over… lots of driving and lots of unpacking.  I’m exhausted, but about to go to the airport to pick up the family!  So excited to see them and bring them to the new house. Hopefully next week I’ll get back in the posting groove.  I’m taking Hebrew 1 during the Januray term and it is online… so, it’ll be interesting...

    Happy Christmas Eve
    Happy Christmas Eve to all! We’re with family today and tomorrow and then I get to drive a moving van for two days.  Internt access will be off and on, so posting will likely not be for a couple days. Keep us in your prayers! See ya soon. AKPC_IDS += "87,";Popularity: 4% [?]

    Still alive
    Super busy lately. I turned 30 yesterday and spent a good 3 hours shopping for health insurance (weeee). Went out to dinner with friends and ended up sitting at the table talking for 6 hours. It was a great night. Today I have to rent the moving van, get renters insurance, change auto insurance, call the cable company, the power company, and the utilities. I then...

    The past 48 hours
    Wow… in the past 48 hours I’ve: Ridden a total of 12 hours in a car Covered 12 square miles of seminary town Called about 35 realtors and home owners Asked the question, “can you tell me about the house?” over a dozen times Committed “breaking and entering” at one house (though no real breaking took place) Had two home made smoothies Been...

    6 ways to save money in seminary
    Take it down a notch - Americans love their space. However, have you notice that the rest of the world is not so space obsessed. I am always humbled when I see images of other countries where entire families live in 1 and 2 bedroom houses. I am also reminded of how our grandparents and great grandparents used to live… 10-15 kids in a 2 or 3 bedroom house. However,...

    House Hunting day 1
    It is 8:30 a.m. and I’m feeling lazy.  Not having kids to wake you up in nice (yet strangely sad)… thankfully there is construction going on next door to remind me that I have work to do today. I had dinner with my brother and sister-in-law and two of their friends.  One of them mentioned that a friend of theirs had just rented a 3 bedroom house in an...
