DanI have not updated my blog in quite some time. It is not that I have lost interest in writing. The reason I have not posted any new articles is because school has really kicked my rear end this semester. Classes were tough, and going through the semester with a newborn and the responsibilities of serving a church made school even more tough.
I have good news to report, though. I have passed my first year of seminary. This semester pushed me to the limit, but I made straight B’s. I am pleased. I am relieved. I am glad for summer break. So, I look forward to updating my blog more often over the summer, but for now, I will celebrate my accomplishment and rest. One year down, two to go.
Congradulations Dan! You made it through the first year, an accomplishment itself, and with good grades. At this point I think seminary is like a three year long boot camp, making and breaking people, particularly a place like Candler. Now you only have two to go! Wait a minute, don’t think about that too much…
Hey, Dan! Congrats again on the grades and getting a year behind you. I think your grades are remarkable, especially since you have your hands full with church and a newborn and a toddler who is a handful-and-a-half (but oh-so-lovable!)!
It was really good to see you and your family last week. It’s nice to catch up with friends. Despite the little glitch right at the end, I think the service was beautiful, too. Great job!
PS – We’re having dinner with your parents tonight. 🙂
Just graduated from said school. It’s not an easy thing to serve a church and be a Dad and go to school. Prayers for you.
Just remember — MDiv = 3 years.
year one — life
year two — death
year three — resurrection.
My hardest year was year two. Be good to yourself.
Graduation is the light at the end of the tunnel that keeps me going. Thanks for the warnings about year two. I have heard horror stories about year two, especially Systematic Theology. I’ll be taking that this fall. Right now, I am just enjoying my summer. Congratulations on your graduation, by the way.
