with all that said, i was in a place this week where i contemplated questions like this:
you are leading a confirmation class session on worship. The following conversation occurs:
ho-ling: my favorite part of the service is communion...i wish we could do it more often
sam: i don't; it makes the service too long
lee: pastor, i don't understand why you go through that long prayer and break the bread and pour the juice.
outline and discuss the order for the celebration of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, based on your knowledge of the Directory for Worship. Informed by your answer from above, respond to each of the members of the class....
beautiful isn't it?...thank God for batchelder...i would have slam dunked this essay...at least i think i would have...this, my friends, is what we have to look forward to in less than one year from now...my advice? start studying NOW...
i saw the OKC memorial last night...i cried...suddenly i was taken to the remembrance of all who have died due to bombs, whatever...there are still wreaths and flowers on the sidewalk lining the memorial...over 10 years ago...amazing how something so monumental becomes a faint memory...
hope you the reader are doing well...grace and peace to you this thursday night...

The OKC memorial is powerful, isn't it? My favorite part, though, is the weeping Jesus statue in front of the Catholic church across the street.
We miss Monica! School isn't the same when you are not here :-)
Monica, I just hope I slam dunked that question that you mentioned. We'll know soon I guess. Glad you got to see a bit of my home turf. The OKC Memorial is very well done and a vivid reminder of the frailty of human life, but the utter power of the spirit.
dees i totally fogot to mention the weeping jesus...as i walked up to it, i thought it was a jewish theodicy thing where jesus was depicted as turning his back and shouldn't have let it happen.......then i read the memorial....i felt better then....i miss all of you...today i am going to make sense of the critical apparatus...or try to...
karen...i won't be negative...but theology was rough...worship and polity had much better scores...the exegesis wasn't graded in okc...so, as you can see, i have much to tell my classmates....:) love to all
Theology was rough. Fortunately, my tests weren't allowed to go to OKC. Only a few more weeks and the results will be in. Good luck with the critical apparatus! And have a safe trip back.
i believe that if anyone passed theology, it was you...guthrie was sitting next to you during the test!! :)
