    Two Cent Tuesday – Summer Classes
    Currently I am signed up for 2 summer classes. I thought about doing more, but I realized that I would ultimately be cheating myself if I tried to cram an entire semester into the summer. I’ve found that I retain a LOT less information when it is crammed into a 1 week intensive. So, for the sake of my training and education I have elected to only take two classes....

    Slacker Saturday
    Talk about being a slacker… One measly post this week and it was merely a job ad. Hopefully I can get my act together this week, but I guess only time will tell if I can do that… Until then, since I was a slacker this week, I’ll try to make up for it in one post. Two Cent Tuesday – Saturday Edition Saturday is always strange for me because I never...

    Two Cent Tuesday – GoingtoSeminary.com v2.0
    The semester is almost over and one of my big summer projects is going to be working on the launch of goingtoseminary.com version 2.0.  I have a bunch of ideas I’m wanting to put into place, but before I rush in and commit all this time and energy into it, I wanted to check and see what you all thought.  So, sound off… What do you like about the site? ...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Term Papers (again)
    So, I have another paper to write this week. Honestly, I hate writing papers. It just doesn’t come naturally to me. I feel like I might overthink them too much or something. Anyway, I spent 7 hours in the library today working on this paper and have, basically, nothing to show for it. I’d say it takes me at least 10 to 15 hours to write an average paper....

    Two Cent Tuesday – Term Papers
    Well, it is about that time in the semester where I’m beginning to realize that I don’t have a lot of time left to get these term papers written. This semester I have two to write: one for Exposition of Hebrews class and one for Hermeneutics class. Thankfully (bitter-sweet) Just a Gal and the kids will be heading out this Thursday for a week with her parents....

    Two Cent Tuesday – Are You Involved in a Local Church?
    I’ve been thinking a lot about the role of the local church in the life of the seminarian and plan, God willing, to write some posts on it in the near future. Until then, I’d love to hear about your involvement in a local church. I’ll go ahead and show my cards, in that I believe that serving in a local church is important for all believers, especially...

    Two Cent Tuesday – How Holy is Holy Week for You?
    I was encouraged this morning as my professor challenged the class to truly participate in Holy Week as a time of reflection and preparation for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Honestly, in the busyness of things, I forgot this was Holy Week.  I wasn’t able to go to the Palm Sunday service due to Little Man and Sweet Pea both being sick, so it just kind of slipped...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Praying for your seminary professors
    So, ever since I read Terry’s blog post Adopt a Seminary Professor I’ve been mulling over the fact that it never even crossed my mind to pray for my professors. Talk about lame. These professors are giving themselves to my (our) training. Does it not make perfect sense that I should pray for God’s grace in their lives and in their families… that...

    Two Cent Tuesday – What Comes to Mind?
    I like stream of consciousness questions because they reveal a lot about a person and their thoughts. So, for this week’s poll I want you to answer the following question with the first word that pops in your head… ready? What is the first word that come to mind when you hear the word seminary? Got it, ok. Well, if it isn’t on the list you can add...
