where has the time gone?

The last several weeks have been filled with an incredible amount of reading and writing, culminating in the completion of a 5 week Wednesday night course I taught at Narberth Pres. on The historical development of Christology called 'Who Do You Say I am?'; a ten-page paper critiquing Walter Brueggemann's use of 'Counter-Testimony' in his Theology of the Old Testament; a thirty-eight and one-half page exegetical analysis of Matthew 16:13-20; and just off the presses and turned in today, a fifteen page overview of Karl Barth's Christology, or his Christocentric approach to theology. And now I wonder, where has the time gone?

To say the least, my brain is feeling somewhat mushy, and it is my deepest hope that I actually may remember much of what I've learned. But one of the things I did learn this past April is that after four years part-time and one full year of studies, I am poised to finish my Masters in Theological Studies in Contemporary Theology at the end of the 07 Fall semester. All I have before me is Biblical Hebrew (this Summer), and in the Fall, writing two theses. I'm very excited, but also quite nervous, I don't mind admitting. Not only do I need to consider what I will be writing my theses on - and who will be my readers - but I must also start looking at and considering doctoral programs, as well as prep for GREs in the Fall. And again, I wonder, where has the time gone?

I hope you're still visiting, dear reader, dear friend. I'm sorry that I've not "written" in so long, at least in this context. But I hope that you are experiencing the fullness of God, and living out His holy and perfect will. Drop me a line, and let me know how you are doing.

God bless!
