A Busy Week

This past Sunday Cindy, the girls, and I went to a local Disciples of Christ congregation. The people there were a warm bunch and we were welcomed nicely (it sure makes a difference when people greet you!). There was no real sermon, though, because a seminarian from Lexington Theological had come home from a trip to Bosnia and shared his experience with the congregation. I'll stop writing about that now. On Monday the Beeson Pastors had class with Dr. Stacy Minger. Stacy is a graduate of the Beeson Program who went on to get her PhD in communications. She spoke to us on issues important to preaching.

She also talked about some of the issues we will face with our dissertations. She was helpful.On Wednesday we began our Theology of Ministry class with Dr. Stephen Seamands. Dr. Seamands began life in India as the child of a missionary and then finished growing up here in Wilmore as the son of a preacher man. The class has been very good. Dr. Seamands is a pastor at heart and his class is oriented toward the practical.

Below you can see a picture of Jim . . . he is aglow with knowledge.Scott led us in worship this week. He picks good songs that I don't know.

We meet from 8:30-4:30 every day and we discuss the nature of God and how the nature of God should undergird the manner in which we minister.

Kent writes it all down and then emails the results of our discussion to God.
