I'm Still Here!

So, now that the first term is almost over, do you think it's time I talked about classes? Ugh, sorry. I tried to warn everyone that I'm awful at this. I'm taking two classes this term: Church History II and Greek. Each term is six weeks long, and we spend 8 hours a weekend in Church History and 2 hours in Greek.

Church history has been interesting! It's more interesting than I'd anticipated, we're covering Medieval religious movements to present day. Which yes, is a rather large chunk of time. It's not a ton of detail about anything, but it's a great overview of Christianity. You guys! A lot of stuff happened! We have two papers due each week, readings from three different books, and a book presentation. It's not TOO much work, but it does keep me busy!

Greek is... hard? Yeah. Hard. Funny looking letters! Weird words! Not used ever in the world except for suckers like me! I'll feel proud of myself when I can properly translate things, but for right now it's just kind of frustrating.

I've preached one Sunday and let worship another. I love the people of Sherwood UMC, they are very kind and welcoming. I preach again on the 25th of this month. It still makes me nervous - and when I led worship last Sunday I was convinced that I was going to forget the Lord's Prayer. I've also been roped into singing with the Praise Team, which is REALLY not inside my comfort zone. Eek!

Back to homework now, I'll try to update again before the end of next term. (I'm taking Greek and History of Spirituality. Fun fun!)
