The semester is coming to a close, and there is still so much work to do! But the Lord is with me.... Anyway, my point in writing tonight is to share a little bit of my sorrow over finishing a couple of my classes. Now, I know you're probably thinking, "What? You're actually sad that school's about over?" Yes!
The two classes I have in mind are Intermediate Koine II and Biblical Hermeneutics. These guys (and one other gal) are family to me. I've been privileged to have class with them. I say these things especially in regard to Greek. We're a small clan; besides Doc, it's three young gentlemen and me. They are my brothers in Christ and good friends of mine. I consider that I have a special attachment to this class that I probably won't have with another one. Two are graduating (half the class), but Mark and I will be going on to third-year Greek and first-year Hebrew in the fall! I am passionate about Greek. It's a beautiful language--especially New Testament (Koine) Greek, the original language of the New Testament. This past year (fall and spring semesters) we've translated Paul's letter to the Ephesians. It's been like Bible study almost every day, and sometimes we get to listen to Doc's preaching. Going to miss that in the fall--third-year Greek is online.
I am thankful for these classmates and profs, Dr. McClain and Dr. Greever, and know that the Lord has worked through them to help me grow spritiually and--go figure--mentally. I hope I've aided them in some way too. It's been fun, guys, and a lot of hard work. I'm glad to have had the pleasure of working alongside you all.
Okay, I'm done with the sappiness.... Love you, guys.
