    When Things Don’t Go As Planned
    I haven’t written a personal post in a while, so I thought I’d give you a little update. A Quick Recap Jennifer and I have been in Orlando for 7 months now.  It has been just about a year since I quit my job as a campus minister in order to go to seminary.  I’m not going to lie, it has been a tough journey.  We almost didn’t come because...

    Thrifty Thursday – Free Family Fun
    Having kids can be expensive… especially when “fun” is involved. Being an Orlando resident affords us many fun activities, however many of them cost a LOT of money. A trip to Disney with the kids would cost almost $200. So, needless to say we haven’t visited the oversize mouse just yet. So, what do we do on our tight budget for family fun? ...

    Quality Down Time
    This guest post was written by Terry Delaney.  You can read more from Terry at Diary of a Seminary Student and Said at Southern. The Semester is Over!  Now what? I don’t know about you, but it seems like I spend each semester thinking about how I need to get ahead in my classes so I do not have work piled on at the end of the semester.  And every semester...

    Going on Vacation
    So, after sprinting full speed since mid December it is time for a little vacation. Starting Friday the family and I are heading off for some MUCH needed rest and relaxation. I’ve already cleared my work schedule and plan on only taking a couple of my school books. I have decided that I am simply going to go and relax… no pressure to get things done or...

    A Dizzy, Drained, and Delighted Seminary Student
    So, I haven’t written a personal post in a while, so I thought I’d catch you up to speed. HOWEVER, before I do, I have to express my amazement at the underwhelming response to the iPod giveaway. I thought for sure that we’d get a great response from the sweet prize list. At this rate, if you were to scribble goingtoseminary.com on a piece of paper...

    Setting Goals in Seminary
    So, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this semester and trying to determine how I will know if the semester is a success. Is it a successful semester if I get straight A’s? Is the number of pages I read this semester a measure of success? Is going to class every day an indicator of a good semester? Well, I’m still working on this list. However,...

    There is a brief post on the Concordia Blog with some advice for those who have to relocate for seminary. While not an exhaustive post on the subject, there are some great little pointers in regards to the practicals… Like don’t pack your boxes over 50 pounds and give your current employer your new address so he or she can send you your W2. The post got me...
