All Registered for Fall classes

Got up early this morning to get registered for Fall classes. I will be taking four classes this fall. One of the classes is a half class and the other three are full classes. I will be studying the Demonic in Christianity. Yep the devil!
A class that will focus on spiritual practices with some studying of Luther and Bonhoeffer. This is an independent study class that a few from our cohort worked hard at getting set up with Dirk Lange while were at Luther for summer classes. It will be a great class for me as the focus will have a self care component within the spiritual practices. I am learning very early on and in some cases not early enough that self-care which is helpful when it included a spiritual practice is really important! So I am looking forward to the class. It is only open to 15 students so it will be a nice smaller group and I imagine will mostly include folks from Cohort 4.
One of the core requirements in a Synoptic Gospel in Greek so the Gospel for the Fall is Luke. Professor Barreto who taught us Greek on line last Fall is teaching this class. I look Luke in English in the Spring, so it will be fun to go back through Luke with a Greek focus this time. I hope all the work in the English sections pays off! I think it will!
Then I will be taking Foundations of Pastoral Care. The professor is Janet Ramsey and I have heard great things about her! I think he may be retired or almost retired so was glad to be able to take this class with her now, because when it comes up for us in our scheduled time to take it, it most likely won't be her.
Now the next exciting step is to wait for the course books and syllabi to be posted! I love ordering course books!!
I have three projects to finish up yet from summer session in June and then it will be nice to be able to do some reading for fun for the month of August! Or NO reading at all!!
That's all for now.
I wonder if I will make any progress on my history final today??

  1. I may be switching classes because of you. I really want my PC class this fall, which means moving my confessions class to the spring, but I believe it is doable with the help of God.

    May God bless all you do and be with you as you finish your papers. You are an inspiration to me.

  2. You have a lot on your plate, so self-care is a necessity. I'll continue to pray for you as you move forward. I hope that you get enough sleep, for one thing.
