Now the work begins!

Well I have officially finished all the first classes of this quarter. Let me just say my Tuesday and Thursdays are going to be long!!! I have a class from 3-6 and another from 6:30-8:30 and there in the same classroom!!! So basically that 30 minute break in between will be good emailing/study time. My first class was a class called Theology and Culture it's a 5 week intensive course meaning after five weeks, I'll be done!!! The class is basically touching on today's culture and how it combines with theology. If you're shaking your head right now, don't worry most of the class was today too. The Prof. is from Scotland and basically told us that we really didn't have to read any of the required reading for the class, but just needed to be familiar with the themes in the books. So that means I'll be going to the bookstore tomorrow to return a $36 book I bought for the class and if I need the book, I'll check it out of the library. The great thing is that I don't have any classes tomorrow, so after the all seminary chapel and the free lunch there offering to celebrate Fuller's 60th Anniversary, I get to read, read and do some more reading for my two Thursday classes.

In other news, I applied for another job today. This one would be working for a church in there worship Arts department as an admin. it's only a 20 hr. a week job and they seem somewhat flexible with the hours. The only downside is that the church is about a 3o min. drive which means that in traffic it will take an hour to get there and back. I got an email today from the church saying that they were still taking applicants, so I'll be emailing her tomorrow with some questions about the position.

Ok, I should probably go to bed now since I do have to get up in the morning to make it to chapel by 10 am.

Quotes

"To discover the forgotten poor is more that the work of "social action", as some would call it. It is rather to put our Bibles back togeather again. Indeed, it is nothing less than to restore the integrity of the Word of God--in our lives, our congregations, our communities and our world." -- Jim Wallis; God's Politics

"He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God."
--Micah 6:8

"To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."
-- Martin Luther

"Our political leaders, after all, are just that--political. No mater what their faith, or lack thereof, they are just plain old people doing a plain old job. They can't save America. It isn't in their job description. They can make changes at the margins by helping a bit here and there. But, ultimately, the work of America is our work. And my ultimate hope is back where it should be--not with fishing, not with politics, but with God."
--David Kuo; Tempting Faith
